By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

The sole way to save oneself is to save others. Or to struggle to save others -even that is sufficient.

All the political, social, and economic improvements, all the technical progress cannot have any regenerating significance, so long as our inner life remains as it is at present. The more the intelligence unveils and violates the secrets of Nature, the more the danger increases and the heart shrinks.

We come from a dark abyss, we end in a dark abyss, and we call the luminous interval life.

The masses do not see the Sirens. They do not hear songs in the air. Blind, deaf, stooping, they pull at their oars in the hold of the earth. But the more select, the captains, harken to a Siren within them...and royally squander their lives with her.

When everything goes wrong, what a joy to test your soul and see if it has endurance and courage! An invisible and all-powerful enemy—some call him God, others the Devil, seem to rush upon us to destroy us; but we are not destroyed.

I said only one word, brought only one message: Love. Love - nothing else.
