...the reason for [this age's] anxiety and unrest is because in one direction, 'truth' increases in scope and quantity - via science and technology - while in the other, certainty and confidence steadily decline. Our age is a master in developing truths while being wholly indifferent to certitude. It lacks confidence in the good.

Only the noble of heart are called to difficulty.

Nothing is as heady as the wine of possibility

The thing that cowardice fears most is decision

Sleeping is the height of genius

The truth is lived before it is understood. It must be fought for, tested, and appropriated. Truth is the way... Anyone will easily understand it if he just gives himself to it.

What our age lacks is not reflection, but passion.
