It disturbs me no more to find men base, unjust, or selfish than to see apes mischievous, wolves savage, or the vulture ravenous.

The aim of language...is to communicate...to impart to others the results one has obtained...As I talk, I reveal the situation...I reveal it to myself and to others in order to change it.

Imagination is not an empirical or superadded power of consciousness, it is the whole of consciousness as it realizes its freedom.

It is therefore senseless to think of complaining since nothing foreign has decided what we feel, what we live, or what we are.
