Quote

Life is measured in love and positive contributions and moments of grace.

Regardless of whether one is a writer or a reader, one's task consists first of all in mastering a life that is one's own, not imposed or prescribed from without, no matter how noble its appearance may be. For each of us is issued but one life, and we know full well how it all ends.

The strong desire to include every vital component of life instead of excluding part of them for the sake of too narrow and dogmatic an approach has characterized my whole life.

Our obligation is to give meaning to life and in doing so to overcome the passive, indifferent life.

Life is supplied with a basic adequacy.

The line between life or death is determined by what we are willing to do.

There are things one must do for oneself.

Each person's life is a story that is telling itself in the living.

Living is a constant process of deciding what we are going to do.
