Nor can we regulate this activity from outside we must leave entirely to each individual its shaping and its extension. From every point of view, then, world- and life-affirmation and ethics are non-rational, and we must have the courage to admit it.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
I am life which wants to live admidst of lives that want to live.
Albert Schweitzer
We are united with all life that is in nature. Man can no longer live his life for himself alone.
