But certainly, for us who understand life, figures are a matter of indifference.

One day, I watched the sun setting forty-four times......You know...when one is so terribly sad, one loves sunsets.

You give birth to that on which you fix your mind

When we think that the machine will harm man, then it is perhaps because we are not yet capable of judging the rapid changes it has brought about. We hardly feel at home in this landscape of mines and power stations. We have just moved into this new home that we have not even finished yet. Everything around us has changed so fast - personal relations, working conditions, habits. Even our state of mind is in turmoil.

The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them in particular caused by what we compare it to: something worse and we feel grateful for what we have; something better and we feel somehow let down.

What sets men at variance is but the treachery of language, for always they desire the same things.

One must observe the proper rites.
