Great truths can only be forgotten and can never be falsified.

Every man is important if he loses his life;and every man is funny if he loses his hat and has to run after it.

The timidity of the child or the savage is entirely reasonable; they are alarmed at this world, because this world is a very alarming place. They dislike being alone because it is verily and indeed an awful idea to be alone. Barbarians fear the unknown for the same reason that Agnostics worship it - because it is a fact.

Coincidences are spiritual puns.

If the devil tells you something is too fearful to look at, look at it. If he says something is too terrible to hear, hear it. If you think some truth unbearable, bear it.

With every step of our lives we enter into the middle of some story which we are certain to misunderstand.

For when we cease to worship God, we do not worship nothing, we worship anything.
