“It may be you fear more to deliver judgment upon me than I fear judgment.”

The wise soul feareth not death; rather she sometimes striveth for death, she goeth beyond to meet her. Yet eternity maintaineth her substance throughout time, immensity throughout space, universal form throughout motion.

All things are in the Universe, and the universe is in all things: we in it, and it in us; in this way everything concurs in a perfect unity.

Since I have spread my wings to purpose high, The more beneath my feet the clouds I see, The more I give the winds my pinions free, Spurning the earth and soaring to the sky.

Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me.

I fought, and therefore, believed in my victory. There is more to the fact that I didn’t fear death and preferred a brave death instead of a life of an idiot.

I who am in the night will move into the day.

Thus is the excellence of God magnified and the greatness of His kingdom made manifest;

There is in the universe neither center nor circumference.

One only is immutable, eternal and ever endures, one and the same with itself. With this philosophy my spirit grows, my mind expands.

I beg you, reject antiquity, tradition, faith, and authority! Let us begin anew by doubting everything we assume has been proven!

Everywhere there is incessant relative change in position throughout the universe, and the observer is always at the center of things.

God is infinite, so His universe must be too.

The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it.

The universe is then one, infinite, immobile. … It is not capable of comprehension and therefore is endless and limitless, and to that extent infinite and indeterminable, and consequently immobile.

The gems of philosophy are not less precious because they are not understood.

Those wise men knew God to be in things, and Divinity to be latent in Nature, working and glowing differently in different subjects and succeeding through diverse physical forms, in certain arrangements, in making them participants in her, I say, in her being, in her life and intellect.

I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That’s the key I may be up early, but I’m in bed early too.

The soul is not the body and it may be in one body or in another, and pass from body to body.

When you come back you will not be you. And I may not be I.

It is amazing how many hints and guides and intuitions for living come to the sensitive person who has ears to hear what his body is saying.

The emotions may be endless. The more we express them, the more we may have to express.

It may be — I hope it is — redemption to guess and perhaps perceive that the universe, the hell which we see for all its beauty, vastness, majesty, is only part of a whole which is quite unimaginable.

Censorship may have to do with literature; but literature has nothing whatever to do with censorship.

Breast-feeding may succumb to the bottle; cuddling, fondling, and paediatric visits may also be done by fathers…but when a child needs a mother to talk to, nobody else but a mother will do.
