The need to find meaning . . . is as real as the need for trust and for love, for relations with other human beings.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.

Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.

We do not remember days; we remember moments.

Everybody needs his memories. They keep the wolf of insignificance from the door.

Count reminiscences like money .
