There is, in short, no great idea that stupidity could not put to its own uses [....] The truth by comparison, has only one appearance and only one path, and is always at a disadvantage.

Anything that endures over time sacrifices its ability to make an impression.

True' and 'false' are the evasions of people who never want to arrive at a decision. Truth is something without end.

It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!

To love something as an artist ... means to be shaken not by its ultimate value or lack of value, but by a side of it that suddenly opens up. Where art has value it shows things that few have seen. It's conquering, not pacifying.

The truth is not a crystal that can be slipped into one's pocket, but an endless current into which one falls headlong.

Anyone who still wants to experience fairytales these days can’t afford to dither when it comes to using their brains.
