The idea of suicide, understandable as it is, does not seem commendable to me. We live in order to gain the greatest possible amount of spiritual development and self-awareness. As long as life is possible, even if only in a minimal degree, you should hang onto it, in order to scoop it up for the purpose of conscious development. To interrupt life before its time is to bring to a standstill an experiment which we have not set up. We have found ourselves in the midst of it and must carry it through to the end.

There is no light without shadow, and no psychic wholeness without imperfection.

The creative person is overpowered, captive of and driven by a demon... They become our legendary heroes.

I do not believe...I know.

Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart through the world.

I could not say I believe. I know! I have had the experience of being gripped by something that is stronger than myself, something that people call God.

To the critical intelligence, nothing is left of absolute reality.
