I'll be drunk again to feel a little love.
To be old can be glorious if one has not unlearned how to begin.
When people come to you for help, do not turn them off with pious words, saying, 'Have faith and take your troubles to God. ' Act instead as though there were no God, as though there were only one person in the world who could help -- only yourself.

I do not accept any absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead to everything that can happen in a man's life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change. They must change.

We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience.

At first you do need to be quite protective; to make sure it's going down the right track, so I was pretty nervous to begin with.
