God waits to win back his own flowers as gifts from man's hands.

Children are living beings - more living than grown-up people who have built shells of habit around themselves. Therefore it is absolutely necessary for their mental health and development that they should not have mere schools for their lessons, but a world whose guiding spirit is personal love.

The truth comes as conqueror only because we have lost the art of receiving it as guest.

The water vessel, taken as a vessel only, raises the question, "Why does it exist at all?" Through its fitness of construction, it offers the apology for its existence. But where it is a work of beauty it has no question to answer; it has nothing to do, but to be.

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

We sit inert, like dead specimens of some museum, while lessons are pelted at us from on high, like hailstones on flowers.
