Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.

Until he [man] has become fully human, until he learns to conduct himself as a member of the earth, he will continue to create gods who will destroy him. The tragedy of Greece lies not in the destruction of a great culture but in the abortion of a great vision.

To the man whose senses are alive and alert there is not even the need to stir from one's threshold.

My understanding of the meaning of a book is that the book itself disappears from sight, that it is chewed alive, digested and incorporated into the system as flesh and blood which in turn creates new spirit and reshapes the world.

The only difference between the Adamic man and the man of today is that the one was born to Paradise and the other has to create it.

The goal of life is not to possess power but to radiate it.

No matter how vast, how total, the failure of man here on earth, the work of man will be resumed elsewhere. War leaders talk of resuming operations on this front and that, but man's front embraces the whole universe.
