The real "it is well" is something I say from the ground, having fallen.

Almost always it is the fear of being ourselves that brings us to the mirror.

Situated in some nebulous distance I do what I do so that the universal balance of which I am a part may remain a balance.

Man, when he is merely what he seems to be, is almost nothing.

Man talks about everything, and he talks about everything as though the understanding of everything were all inside him.

When your suffering is a little greater than my suffering I feel that I am a little cruel.

The children whom nobody leads by the hand are the children who know they are children.
