We must learn to talk with each other, and we mutually must understand and accept one another in our extraordinary differences.

I discovered that the study of past philosophers is of little use unless our own reality enters into it. Our reality alone allows the thinker's questions to become comprehensible.

The soul of a landscape, the spirits of the elements, the genius of every place will be revealed to a loving view of nature.

Man is always something more than what he knows of himself. He is not what he is simply once and for all, but is a process; he is not merely an extant life, but is, within that life, endowed with possibilities through the freedom he possesses to make of himself what he will by the activities on which he decides.

What makes us afraid is our great freedom in the face of the emptiness that has still to be filled.

What is meaningful cannot in fact be isolated…. We achieve understanding within a circular movement from particular facts to the whole that includes them and back again from the whole thus reached to the particular significant facts.
