- Poverty of the Spirit
When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast with a scientific and technological abundance. We've learned to fly the air as birds, we've learned to swim the seas as fish, yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters.

- Excerpt from "On the wings of Friendship"
A friend us a person who is for you always. He wants nothing from you except that you be yourself. He is the one being with whom you can feel safe. A friend is a great citadel of refuge in the strife of existence. It is he that keeps alive your faith in human nature, that makes you believe that it is a good universe. He is the antidote to despair, the elixir of hope, the tonic for depression... Give to him without reluctance.
