Everyone needs a sense of shame, but no one needs to feel ashamed.

At times, our strengths propel us so far forward we can no longer endure our weaknesses and perish from them.

The first opinion that occurs to us when we are suddenly asked about something is usually not our own but only the current one pertaining to our class, position, or parentage; our own opinions seldom swim on the surface.

Rendering oneself unarmed when one had been the best-armed, out of a height of feeling-that is the means to real peace, which must always rest on a peace of mind.

It is our needs that interpret the world; our drives and their For and Against. Every drive is a kind of lust to rule; each one has its perspective that it would like to compel all other drives to accept as a norm.

Creating-that is the great salvation from suffering.

Faith makes blessed. Consequently it lies.
