On a grassroots level we say that man can touch more than he can grasp.

The wise man knows how to run his life so that contemplation is possible.

This detachment (poverty, chastity, etc.) must not be mere amputation; everything which is shaken off must be simultaneously found again at a higher level.

Contemplation and wisdom are highest achievements and man is not totally at home with them.

But however measurable, there is much more life in music than mathematics or logic ever dreamed of.

Contemporary thinkers would say that man is continuously transcending himself.

... freedom is a conquest, always partial, always precarious, always challenged. ... the freest person is the one with the most hope.
