Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.

The fact that there is nothing but a spiritual world deprives us of hope and gives us certainty.

People keep themselves at a tolerable height above an infernal abyss toward which they gravitate only by putting out all their strength and lovingly helping one another. They are tied together by ropes, and it's bad enough when the ropes around an individual loosen and he drops somewhat lower than the others into empty space; ghastly when the ropes break and he falls. That's why we should cling to the others.

He who seeks does not find, but he who does not seek will be found.

Not everyone can see the truth, but he can be it.

There is a down-and-outness under true knowledge and a childlike happy arising from it.

Written kisses don't reach their destination, rather they are drunk on the way by the ghosts.
