Man positively needs general ideas and convictions that will give a meaning to his life and enable him to find a place for himself in the universe.

The growth of the mind is the widening of the range of consciousness, and each step forward has been a most painful and laborious achievement.

It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going. Not consciously, of course—for consciously he is engaged in bewailing and cursing a faithless world that recedes further and further into the distance. Rather, it is an unconscious factor which spins the illusions that veil his world. And what is being spun is a cocoon, which in the end will completely envelop him.

Embrace your grief. For there, your soul will grow.

Doesn't the world bring forth thinking in human heads with the same necessity that it brings forth blossoms on the plant?

What is not brought to consciousness, comes to us as fate.

Be grateful for your difficulties and challenges, for they hold blessings. In fact... Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health personal growth, individuation and self-actualisation.
