I teach at Harvard that the world and the heavens, and the stars are all real, but not so damned real, you see.

I never felt a feeling that I knew or could know to be unlike the feelings of other people. I never consciously thought, except after patterns that the world or my fellows set for me.

Unless you can find some sort of LOYALTY, you cannot find unity and peace in your active living.

By an individual being, whatever one's metaphysical doctrine, one means an unique being, that is, a being which is alone of its own type, or is such that no other of its class exists.

So, as one sees, I by no means deprive my world of stubborn reality, if I merely call it a world of ideas.

God is One, all our lives have various and unique places in the harmony of the divine life.

God too longs; and because the Absolute Life itself, which dwells in our life, and inspires these very longings, possesses the true world, and is that world.
