The vegetarian movement ought to fill with gladness the souls of those who have at heart the realization of God's kingdom upon earth, not because vegetarianism itself is such an important step towards the realization of this kingdom (all real steps are equally important or unimportant), but because it serves as a criterion by which we know that the pursuit of moral perfection on the part of man is genuine and sincere.

Leo Tolstoy

The idea, shared by many, that life is a vale of tears, is just as false as the idea shared by the great majority, the idea to which youth and health and riches incline you, that life is a place of entertainment.

But that joy can be real only if people look upon their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.

Lester Bangs

Leo Buscaglia

There is only the moment. The now. Only what you are experiencing at this second is real.

Leo Buscaglia

"To be is to do," says the existentialist. "One only becomes real (human) at the point of action."

Leo Buscaglia

As soon as the love relationship does not lead me to me, as soon as I in a love relationship do not lead another person to himself, this love, even if it seems to be the most secure and ecstatic attachment I have ever experienced, is not true love. For real love is dedicated to continual becoming.
