Life + a cat ... adds up to an incalculable sum.

Whoever now makes himself bigger, freer and more human in his own existence, is doing his part toward peace, — as yet it must be worked at in an inward direction, not until a few have it all big and ready within them can it let itself be brought into the world.

Do not be bewildered by the surfaces: in the depths all becomes law.

I live not in dreams but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future.

We wasters of sorrows! How we stare away into sad endurance beyond them, trying to foresee their end! Whereas they are nothing else than our winter foliage, our sombre evergreen, one of the seasons of our interior year.

Everything terrible is something that needs our love.

Truly it is glorious, our being here.
