The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble. They can never be solved, but only outgrown. This 'outgrowing', as I formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest arose on the person's horizon, and through this widening of view, the insoluble problem lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger life-tendency.

The upheaval of our world and the upheaval of our consciousness are one and the same.

VOCATUS ATQUE NON VOCATUS DEUS ADERIT.

People learn from who we are, rather than what we say, and to believe otherwise is a disease of the mind.

A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

One cannot free oneself by bowing to the yoke, but by breaking it.

When you walk with naked feet, how can you ever forget the Earth?
