“People can only live fully by helping others to live. When you give life to friends you truly live. Cultures can only realize their further richness by honoring other traditions. And only by respecting natural life can humanity continue to exist.”

“I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters and that it sis my duty… This is my highest and best use as a human.”

“It is only when we stand up, with all our failings and sufferings, and try to support others rather than withdraw into ourselves, that we can fully live the life of community.”

“There is only one thing in your life YOU can be sure of. That one thing is this moment, now. The last moment has gone forever. The next moment has not come. YOU can become fully conscious only when you are living in the moment. To begin to live in the moment you have to know it exists and understand it. To understand it you have to observe it in relation to yourself and in relation to life. When you understand it, when you become conscious, you will see it is all that exists. To see this is to glimpse reality.”

“Once you have perceived that life is very cruel, the only response is to live with as much humanity, humour and freedom as you can.”

“Only by being prepared for your death can you ever truly live.”

“Only by living at the edge of death can you understand the indescribable joy of life.”

“Life, when fully lived under a variety of cultural conditions, can be euphoric and optimistic; it can be a joy to experience and a wonder to behold”

“We can only begin to live when we conceive life as
Tragedy.”

“Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”
