"Happiness is holding someone in your arms and knowing you hold the whole world."

I earnestly wish to point out in what true dignity and human happiness consists.

The only way to escape the miseries of love is to love more.

People can be really smart or have skills that are directly applicable, but if they don't really believe in it, then they are not going to really work hard.

The ability to be alone is the ability to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those who can be alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another human being—without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other.
