Jealousy is the fear of comparison.

There are all sorts of ways of murdering a person or at least his soul, and that's something no police in the world can spot.

Thou shalt not, it is said, make unto thee any graven image of God. The same commandment should apply when God is taken to mean the living part of every human being, the part that cannot be grasped. It is a sin that, however much it is committed against us, we almost continually commit ourselves--Except when we love.

Nothing is harder than to accept oneself.

Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body--we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!
