I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.
Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.
Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it's produced the most extraordinary results in human culture.
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

There are two insults no human being will endure: that he has no sense of humor, and that he has never known trouble.
There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.
Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence.
