Christianity, if it is to triumph over pantheism, must absorb it. To our pusillanimous eyes Jesus would have borne the marks of a hateful pantheism, for he confirmed the Biblical phrase "ye are gods," and so would St. Paul, who tells us that we are of "the race of God." Our century wants a new theology - that is to say, a more profound explanation of the nature of Christ and of the light which it flashes upon heaven and upon humanity.

The more a man loves, the more he suffers. The sum of possible grief for each soul is in proportion to its degree of perfection.

Pure truth cannot be assimilated by the crowd; it must be communicated by contagion.

Men don't achieve truth because they lack humility and love of truth. They won't criticize their own beliefs. Truth would overwhelm them.

The best path through life is the highway.

At bottom there is but one subject of study: the forms and metamorphoses of mind. All other subjects may be reduced to that; all other studies bring us back to this study.

Happiness has no limits, because God has neither bottom nor bounds, and because happiness is nothing but the conquest of God through love.
