Help me to fling my life like a flaming firebrand into the gathering darkness of the world.

No one can give a definition of the soul. But we know what it feels like. The soul is the sense of something higher than ourselves, something that stirs in us thoughts, hopes, and aspirations which go out to the world of goodness, truth and beauty. The soul is a burning desire to breathe in this world of light and never to lose it--to remain children of light.

Any profound view of the world is mysticism. It has, of course, to deal with life and the world, both of which are nonrational entities.

The deeper we look into nature, the more we recognize that it is full of life, and the more profoundly we know that all life is a secret and that we are united with all life that is in nature.

The only way out of today's misery is for people to become worthy of each other's trust.
