All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.

We are empty shells if we do not possess, if we do not fill our life with furniture, with music, with knowledge, with this or that. And that shell makes a lot of noise, and that noise we call living, and with that we are satisfied.

The only freedom is the freedom from the known.

From innumerable complexities we must grow to simplicity; we must become simple in our inward life and in our outward needs.

National discord is, like religion, a standardized form of revolt; and the moment a revolt is standardized, it is no longer a revolt.

And the idea of ourselves is our escape from the fact what we really are.

The mind gives meaning to anything but the meaning it gives is meaningless.
