Only the individual who is solitary is like a thing placed under profound laws, and when he goes out into the morning that is just beginning, or looks out into the evening that is full of happening, and if he feels what is going on there, then all status drops from him as from a dead man, though he stands in the midst of sheer life.

May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.

Stand up during supper and walk outdoors, and keep on walking.

Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.

Truly to sing, that is a different breath.

To have a childhood means to live a thousand lives before the one.

Don't take my devils away, because my angels may flee too.
