Quotes

  • We are living longeron average 30 years longer than at the start of the 20th centuryyet we are not living healthier. The question is: Are we just living dependent and sick, or are we living healthy and able to contribute?
  • I think we set up an impossible task, because our hedonistic version of happiness is impossible to sustain. But it is quite possible to feel fulfilled and content and that the world is meaningful by aligning yourself with some ideals, something that is bigger and better than you, and trying to live up to it.
