"Happiness is essentially a state of going somewhere, wholeheartedly, one-directionally, without regret or reservation."

"There are those much more rare people who never lose their curiosity, their almost childlike wonder at the world; those people who continue to learn and to grow intellectually until the day they die. And these usually are the people who make contributions, who leave some part of the world a little better off than it was before they entered it."
