The truth is revealed by removing things that stand in its light, an art not unlike sculpture, in which the artist creates, not by building, but by hacking away.

Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.

The more we struggle for life as pleasure, the more we are actually killing what we love.

You can't make love without art.

Wars based on principle are far more destructive... the attacker will not destroy that which he is after.

Our educational system in its entirety does nothing to give us any kind of material competence. In other words, we don't learn how to cook, how to make clothes, how to build houses, how to make love, or to do any of the absolutely fundamental things of life.

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