The question of bread for myself is a material question; but the question of bread for my neighbour, for everybody, is a spiritual and a religious question.

The creation of the world is not only a process which moves from God to humanity. God demands newness from humanity; God awaits the works of human freedom.

True life is creativity, not development: it is the freedom for creative acts, for creative fire, rather than necessity and the heaviness of congealing self-perfection.

Creative experience foreshadows a new Heaven and a new Earth.

...in the third epoch the divinity of man's creative nature is finally revealed and divine power becomes human power.

Creativity is something which proceeds from within, out of immeasurable and inexplicable depths, not from without, not from the world's necessity. The very desire to make the creative act understandable, to find a basis for it, is failure to comprehend it. To comprehend the creative act means to recognize that it is inexplicable and without foundation.

Bread for myself is a material question. Bread for my neighbor is a spiritual one.
