No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child

If you have been sunned through and through like an apricot on a wall from your earliest days, you are oversensitive to any withdrawal of heat.

Live your life and forget your age.

All of us are products of our childhood.

Life does not need to mutilate itself in order to be pure.

Of all the diversions of life, there is none so proper to fill up its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors.

Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.

I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.

Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which we endure, and generally create ourselves.

I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it.

It is not how old you are, but how you are old.

Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.

We all owe death a life.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, and I'm going to be happy in it.

A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.

We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.
