Man is worse than an animal when he is an animal.

The traveler has to knock at every alien door to come to his own, and one has to wander through all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end.

If someone smells a flower and says he does not understand, the reply to him is: there is nothing to understand, it is only a scent. If he persists, saying: that I know, but what does it all mean? Then one has either to change the subject, or make it more abstruse by saying that the scent is the shape which the universal joy takes in the flower.

The greed for fruit misses the flower.

Man is immortal; therefore he must die endlessly. For life is a creative idea; it can only find itself in changing forms

Days are coloured bubbles that float upon the surface of fathomless nights.

Mistakes live in the neighbourhood of truth and therefore delude us.
