"The value of the personal relationship to all things is that it creates intimacy... and intimacy creates understanding... and understanding creates love."

You can't take sides against anything. If you would just be one who is for things, you would live happily ever after. If you could just leave the "against" part out. 

There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free if you truly wish to be. If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.

A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men.

Make each day your masterpiece.

A generous friend
gives life for a friend
let's rise above this
animalistic behavior
and be kind to one another

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Oh, you should never, never doubt what nobody is sure about.
