When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's to late.

A human being can stand any amount of pain.

The real universe is always one step beyond logic.

Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere.

We’ve lost something vital, I tell you. When we lost it, we lost the ability to make good decisions. We fall upon decisions these days the way we fall upon an enemy—or wait and wait, which is a form of giving up, and we allow the decisions of others to move us. Have we forgotten that we were the ones who set this current flowing?

Emotions are the curse of logic.

A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.
