And for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream. But things that many see may have no taste or moment in them at all, and things that are shown only to one may be spears and water-spouts of truth from the very depth of truth.

Free will, though it makes evil possible, also makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.

For jokes as well as justice come in with speech.

Disobedience to conscience makes conscience blind.

We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness.

I have often repented of speech but hardly ever of silence.

I am in love and out of it I will not go.
