Love pushes the limits of individual existence and brings into consciousness all the bliss of being; with love, life admires itself; love is the apotheosis of life.

There is no chronic happiness as there is no melting ice.

Progress - an inherent property of the conscious development which has not been interrupted; it is an active memory and improvement of people's social life.
