I feel sorry for the man who has never known the bracing thrill of taking a stand and sticking to it fearlessly. Moral courage has rewards that timidity can never imagine. Like a shot of adrenaline, it floods the spirit with vitality
The woman who too easily and ardently yielded her devotion will find that its vitality, like a bright fire, soon consumes itself.
The supreme good of life is vitality. And vitality is always seeping away.
The most convincing artistic forms of our time are inner models of structural vitality and social relevance. They give us confidence that in spite of everything there is still quality to life.
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, the encountering may be the very experience which creates the vitality and the power to endure.
The price of our vitality is the sum of all our fears
If we open up to our vitality and to the sense of urgency that flows within us. . . we will have the pleasure of experiencing ourselves living and working in cooperation with the deepest forces of life.
Human vitality is so exuberant that in the sorriest desert it still finds a pretext for glowing and trembling.
I found myself losing interest in almost everything, I didn't want to do any of the things I had previously wanted to do and I didn't know why. Everything there was to do seemed like too much work. The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality, and it was vitality that seemed to seep away from me in that moment.
