“The more serious the situation, the funnier the comedy can be. The greatest comedy plays against the greatest tragedy.

But if you throw it against the hard wall of ultimate reality, it will bounce back and be very lively. Very, very few people understand this.”

We need permanent things to soak peace into us as well as progress - the beauty of the earth, seedtime and harvest, the smiles of lovers, the joy of the young in being alive, pride in craftsmanship. Why, oh why must we let ourselves forget these lasting treasures in an age of consuming ambition, speed madness and accumulated goods that leave us no chance to live? If we cannot be contented with a little no wealth will ever satisfy us.”
“If you ain't holding, you ain't trying.”
“We see in the electroencephalogram a concomitant phenomenon of the continuous nerve processes which take place in the brain, exactly as the electrocardiogram represents a concomitant phenomenon of the contractions of the individual segments of the heart.”
