Maturity - among other things, the unclouded happiness of the child at play, who takes it for granted that he is at one with his play-mates.

Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.

If only I may grow: firmer, simpler, quieter, warmer.

It is playing safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity.

If even dying is to be made a social function, then, grant me the favor of sneaking out on tiptoe without disturbing the party.

Life yields only to the conqueror. Never accept what can be gained by giving in. You will be living off stolen goods, and your muscles will atrophy.

Time goes by, reputation increases, ability declines.

Everything will be all right - you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction and see it as a drawing they made themselves.

Do not seek death. Death will find you. But seek the road which makes death a fulfillment.
