We must be careful that the business we build does not become mere busyness.

Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap.

Faith...is letting go and trusting oneself to the unknown.

No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen.

For there is a growing apprehension that existence is a rat-race in a trap: living organisms, including people, are merely tubes which put things in at one end and let them out at the other, which which both keeps them doing it and in the long run wears them out. So to keep the farce going, the tubes find ways of making new tubes, which also put things in at one end and let them out at the other.

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

The problem comes up because we ask the question in the wrong way. We supposed that solids were one thing and space quite another, or just nothing whatever. Then it appeared that space was no mere nothing, because solids couldn't do without it. But the mistake in the beginning was to think of solids and space as two different things, instead of as two aspects of the same thing. The point is that they are different but inseparable, like the front end and the rear end of a cat. Cut them apart, and the cat dies.
