A writer who is in a hurry to be understood today or tomorrow runs the danger of being misunderstood the day after tomorrow.

Hence it happens that one takes words for concepts, and concepts for the things themselves

Every phenomenon of nature was a word, - the sign, symbol and pledge of a new, mysterious, inexpressible but all the more intimate union, participation and community of divine energies and ideas.

What for others is style, for me is soul.

I look upon logical proofs the way a well-bred girl looks upon a love letter

Everything is vain and tortures the spirit instead of calming and satisfying it.
