“In America, people are so busy. Even the children are busy. I get the impression very few of us are touching the miracle that you are alive.”

“I have never since entirely freed myself of the impression that this life is a segment of existence which is enacted in a three-dimensional boxlike universe especially set up for it.”

“Where am I? Who am I? How did I come to be here? What is this thing called the world?”
