Ideas are infinite, original, and lively divine thoughts.

Many a witty inspiration is like the surprising reunion of befriended thoughts after a long separation.

As long as the artist invents and is inspired, he remains in a constrained state of mind, at least for the purpose of communication. He then wants to say everything, which is the wrong tendency of young geniuses or the right prejudice of old bunglers. Thus, he fails to recognize the value and dignity of self-restraint, which is indeed for both the artist and the man the first and the last, the most necessary and the highest goal.

The following are the universally fundamental laws of literary communication: 1. one must have something to communicate; 2. one must have someone to whom to communicate it; 3. one must really communicate it, not merely express it for oneself alone. Otherwise it would be more to the point to remain silent.

Set religion free, and a new humanity will begin.

Ideas are infinite, original, and lively divine thoughts.

A good preface must be the root and the square of the book at the same time.
