"It is important to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed."
"No one could have less faith in the absolute and definitive importance of the work created by man, because I believe that this world is nothing but a dream."
"I came into the world without being asked, and when the time for dying comes I shall not be consulted; but between the boundaries of birth and death lies the dominion of choice: to be a doer or a dreamer, to be a lifter or a leaner, to speak out or remain silent, to extend a hand in friendship or to look the other way; to feel the sufferings of others or to be callous and insensitive. These are the choices; it is in the choosing that my measure as a person Is determined."
