Everything becomes and recurs eternally - escape is impossible!

The great end of art is to strike the imagination with the power of a soul that refuses to admit defeat even in the midst of a collapsing world.

The will to truth is merely the longing for a stable world.

We must learn to love, learn to be kind, and this from the earliest youth; if education or chance give us no opportunity to practice these feelings, our soul becomes dry and unsuited even to understanding the tender inventions of loving people.

Man and man's earth are unexhausted and undiscovered. Wake and listen! Verily, the earth shall yet be a source of recovery. Remain faithful to the earth, with the power of your virtue. Let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth.

Marriages that made out of love (so-called "love-matches") have error as their father and misery (necessity) as their mother.

Profundity of thought belongs to youth, clarity of thought to old age.
