That is not to say that we can relax our readiness to defend ourselves. Our armament must be adequate to the needs but our faith is not primarily in these machines of defense but in ourselves.

Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for lost faith in ourselves.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.

I simply don't believe in failure. In itself it doesn't exist. We create it. We make ourselves fail.

The sole substitute for an experience which we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature.

Advertising is the edge of what people know how to do and of human experience and it explains the latest ways progress has changed us to ourselves.

Sometimes when we weep in the movies we weep for ourselves or for a life unlived. Or we even go to the movies because we want to resist the emotion that's there in front of us. I think there is always a catharsis that I look for and that makes the movie experience worthwhile.

We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces which represent 30% of our musical experience.

We come altogether fresh and raw into the several stages of life and often find ourselves without experience despite our years.
