One must live to build one's house, and not build one's house to live in.

Empirical description involves enslavement to the object by decreeing passivity on the part of the subject.

So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.

If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.

In our view any awareness is an increment to consciousness, an added light, a reinforcement of psychic coherence. Its swiftness or instantaneity can hide this growth from us. But there is a growth of being in every instance of awareness. Consciousness is in itself an act, the human act.

It is better to live in a state of impermanence than in one of finality.

The past of the soul is so distant! The soul does not live on the edge of time. It finds its rest in the universe imagined by reverie.
