A light has dawned for me: I need companions, living ones, not dead companions and corpses which I carry with me wherever I wish. But I need living companions who follow me because they want to follow themselves- and who want to go where I want to go.

...one can speak with the utmost clearness, and yet not be heard by anyone.

There are various eyes. Even the Sphinx has eyes: and as a result there are various truths, and as a result there is no truth.

Whatever harm the evil may do, the harm done by the good is the most harmful harm.

A thought, even a possibility, can shatter and transform us.
