As a plant produces its flower, so the psyche creates its symbols.

The mass State has no intention of promoting mutual understanding and the relationship of man to man; it strives, rather, for atomization, for the psychic isolation of the individual. The more unrelated individuals are, the more consolidated the State becomes, and vice versa.

When you come to think about it, nothing has any meaning, for when there was nobody to think, there was nobody to interpret what happened.

Neurosis is the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.

Somewhere, right at the bottom of one’s own being, one generally does know where one should go and what one should do. But there are times when the clown we call “I” behaves in such a distracting fashion that the inner voice cannot make its presence felt.

The attainment of wholeness requires one to stake one's whole being. Nothing less will do; there can be no easier conditions, no substitutes, no compromises.

You must go in quest of yourself, and you will find yourself again only in the simple and forgotten things.
