Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.

Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought.

Culture is the one thing that we cannot deliberately aim at. It is the product of a variety of more or less harmonious activities, each pursued for its own sake.

And the end and the beginning were always there Before the beginning and after the end.

All time is eternal, moving inexorably toward an end which we believe is a result of our actions, but over which our control is mere illusion.

For last year's words belong to last year's language And next year's words await another voice.

To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not, You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy. In order to arrive at what you do not know You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by the way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not You must go through the way in which you are not. And what you do not know is the only thing you know And what you own is what you do not own And where you are is where you are not.
