“Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs, or anything else—God is in this person’s life. You can, you must try to seek God in every human life. Although the life of a person is a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God.” 

“It is not 'progressive' to try to resolve problems by eliminating a human life.” 

I don't have anything interesting to conceal or reveal in my private life, and it is really only my work and professional life that I want to talk about.

“The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life” 

You see, I don't draw from life at all, but I do look out of my window a lot.

“In order for man to succeed in life, God provided him with two means, education and physical activity. Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together. With these means, man can attain perfection.” 

“a life without investigation is not worth living” 

“The man who finds that in the course of his life he has done a lot of wrong often wakes up at night in terror, like a child with a nightmare, and his life is full of foreboding: but the man who is conscious of no wrongdoing is filled with cheerfulness and with the comfort of old age.” 

“The greatest wealth is to live content with little.” 

“When men speak ill of thee, live so as nobody may believe them.” 

If it wasn't for pick-pockets I'd have no sex life at all.

Life is just a bowl of pits.

Life's a short trip. You'll find out.

“The best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love.” 

“A cheerful life is what the Muses love, A soaring spirit is their prime delight.” 

“Almost suspended, we are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul: While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.” 

“You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.” 

The best night of my life was watching the Japanese Noh theater. I've only seen it once, but even saying it now, I think, 'How can I ever have this experience again?' It was so mesmerizing, so complicated and so primordial; I could not believe it.

I eat only vegetables and fruit, and to me it's the most aspirational diet because it's so easy. It's quite simple, the cooking I do.

I'd like to be the last person alive in the world! Yes, I'd like to know what happens.

It's a philosophy of life. A practice. If you do this, something will change, what will change is that you will change, your life will change, and if you can change you, you can perhaps change the world.

We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die; a sustainable world. It could be great.

“Our economic system, run for profit and waste and based primarily on the extractive industries, is the cause of climate change. We have wasted the earth's treasure and we can no longer exploit it cheaply.”

I forced myself to think what is the new concept and it became clear to me that it was risk, not only in technology and ecology, but in life and employment, too.
