Man cannot live without a continuous confidence in something indestructible within himself.

One can disintegrate the world by means of very strong light. For weak eyes the world becomes solid, for still weaker eyes it seems to develop fists, for eyes weaker still it becomes shamefaced and smashes anyone who dares to gaze upon it.

I do not speak as I think, I do not think as I should, and so it all goes on in helpless darkness.

My life was sweeter than other people's and my death will be more terrible by the same degree.

This tremendous world I have inside of me. How to free myself, and this world, without tearing myself to pieces. And rather tear myself to a thousand pieces than be buried with this world within me.

Anyone who loves his neighbor within the limits of the world is doing no more and no less injustice than someone who loves himself within the limits of the world.

I can't feel a thing; All mournful petal storms are dancing inside the very private spring of my head.
