When one begins to reflect on philosophy—then philosophy seems to us to be everything, like God, and love. It is a mystical, highly potent, penetrating idea—which ceaselessly drives us inward in all directions. The decision to do philosophy—to seek philosophy is the act of self-liberation—the thrust toward ourselves.

To philosophize means to make vivid.

The brains -the thinking organs- are the world producers -nature's genitals.

Nature is a petrified magic city.

Not only England, but every Englishman is an island.

Character and fate are two words for the same thing
