Man is always a wizard to man, and the social world is at first magical.

Why do you keep maintaining your ideas are right if you can't prove them?

I respect orders but I respect myself too and I do not obey foolish rules made especially to humiliate me.

Handing over a bank note is enough to make a bicycle belong to me, but my entire life is needed to realize this possession.

We are possessed by the things we possess. When I like an object, I always give it to someone. It isn't generosity-it's only because I want others to be enslaved by objects, not me.

It's quite an undertaking to start loving somebody. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness. There is even a moment right at the start where you have to jump across an abyss: if you think about it you don't do it.

I confused things with their names: that is belief.
