Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.

We view things not only from different sides, but with different eyes; we have no wish to find them alike.

There is a God-shaped hole in the life of every man.

Symmetry is what we see at a glance; based on the fact that there is no reason for any difference.

We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end.

The greatness of man is so evident that it is even proved by his wretchedness. For what in animals is nature, we call in man wretchedness--by which we recognize that, his nature being now like that of animals, he has fallen from a better nature which once was his.

Everything that is incomprehensible does not, however, cease to exist.
