If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe.

Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion - and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while Truth again reverts to a new minority.

The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted.

It is not where we breathe, but where we Love, that we live.
