Everything depends on inner change; when this has taken place, then, and only then does the world change.
Every person born in this world represents something new, something that never existed before, something original and unique.
The true meaning of love one’s neighbor is not that it is a command from God which we are to fulfill, but that through it and in it we meet the Divine.
I do not accept any absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead to everything that can happen in a man’s life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change. They must change. So I think we should live with this constant discovery. We should be open to this adventure in heightened awareness of living. We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience.
In spite of all similarities, every living situation has, like a newborn child, a new face, that has never been before and will never come again. It demands of you a reaction that cannot be prepared beforehand. It demands nothing of what is past. It demands presence, responsibility; it demands you.
I think no human being can give more than this. Making life possible for the other, if only for a moment.
Everyone has in them something precious that is in no one else.
