" (...) men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed, most of their vices are attempted short cuts to love (...) if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror. It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world."

"One child, refused the love he craves, kicks the cat and hides his secret guilt; and another steals so that money will make him loved; and a third conquers the world- and always the guilt and revenge and more guilt. The human is the only guilty animal."
