Can a man possessing conciousness ever really respect himself?

... you simply can't imagine what men will say!

Man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort the truth intentionally he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic.

To love someone means to see him as God intended him.

Man is unhappy because he doesn't know he's happy. If anyone finds out he'll become happy at once.

In summer, intolerable closeness; in winter, unendurable cold. All the floors were rotten. Filth on the floors an inch thick; one could slip and fall.

That's just the point: an honest and sensitive man opens his heart, and the man of business goes on eating - and then he eats you up.
