It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!

Why does man not see things? He is himself standing in the way: he conceals things.

Linguistic danger to spiritual freedom.- Every word is a prejudice.

What is the difference between someone who is convinced and one who is deceived? None, if he is well deceived.

Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.

He who lives as children live - who does not struggle for his bread and does not believe that his actions possess any ultimate significance - remains childlike.

One who is publicly honest about himself ends up by priding himself somewhat on this honesty: for he knows only too well why he is honest-for the same reasons another person prefers illusion and dissimulation.
