The world is full of suffering, but it is also full of the overcoming of it.
You don't love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.
It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page."
Liberty is the fruit of thought.
