Do you see yourself as a victim of the world, or do you see yourself as the world?

Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.

A living body is not a fixed thing, but a flowing event, like a flame or a whirlpool.

To look at life without words is not to lose the ability to form words- to think, remember, and plan. To be silent is not to lose your tongue. On the contrary, it is only through silence that one can discover something new to talk about. One who talked incessantly, without stopping to look and listen, would repeat himself ad nauseam. It is the same with thinking, which is really silent talking. It is not, by itself, open to the discovery of anything new, for its only novelties are simply arrangements of old words and ideas.

For me, being literate and articulate is a form of judo, of overcoming the [system] by its own method.

If we are unduly absorbed in improving our lives we may forget altogether to live them.

But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
