God has set his intentions in the flowers, in the dawn, in the spring, it is his will that we should love.

Loving is half of believing.

The beginning as well as the end of all his thoughts was hatred of human law, that hatred which, if it be not checked in its growth by some providential event, becomes, in a certain time, hatred of society, then hatred of the human race, and then hatred of creation, and reveals itself by a vague and incessant desire to injure some living being, it matters not who.

Vengeance comes from the individual and punishment from God.

Philosophy is the microscope of thought. Everything desires to flee from it, but nothing escapes it.

Diamonds are found only in the dark bowels of the earth; truths are found only in the depths of thought. It seemed to him that after descending into those depths after long groping in the blackest of this darkness, he had at last found one of these diamonds, one of these truths, and that he held it in his hand; and it blinded him to look at it. (pg. 231)

If you are stone, be magnetic; if a plant, be sensitive; but if you are human be love.
