I think the institute of marriage is a noble thing. The idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we're living to 100. A hundred years ago people were dying at age 37. Til death do us part was a much different deal.

It is a fact that all women contribute more to marriage than men for the most part they have to change their place of living their method of work a great many women today changing their occupation entirely on marriage and they must even change their name.

The mark of a good marriage is partnership and continuing to feel inspired by your spouse. I had that with Tao. But the end is not necessarily the tragedy. Staying in a relationship that is no longer working is the tragedy. Living unhappily - that's the tragedy.

All marriages are happy. It's the living together afterward that causes all the trouble.

There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

In every living thing there is the desire for love.

Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue a wonderful living side by side can grow if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

In the last analysis the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for 'finding himself.' If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence.

Find ecstasy in life the mere sense of living is joy enough.
