On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.

Metaphysical world.- It is true, there could be a metaphysical world; the absolute possibility of it is hardly to be disputed. We behold all things through the human head and cannot cut off this head; while the question nonetheless remains what of the world would still be there if one had cut it off.

Great things demand that we either remain silent about them or speak in a great manner: in a great manner, that is-cynically and with innocence.

How lovely it is that there are words and sounds. Are not words and sounds rainbows and illusive bridges between things which are eternally apart?

It is not when it is dangerous to tell the truth that its advocates are hardest to find, but when it is boring.

When we stand the truth on its head we generally fail to notice that our head is not standing where it should be standing either.

We cannot even reproduce our thoughts entirely in words.
