Life is meaningless, but worth living, provided you recognize it's meaningless.

The intelligent desire self-control; children want candy.

I don't mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom.

You didn't come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.

A stupid or simple person is always ready to see the wrong in another and ready to form an opinion and to judge.

Truth is a product of the human spirit that wouldn't exist at all, if we wouldn't create it.

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
