We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.

Love resembles a tree: it bends under its own weight, deeply rooted in our being and sometimes turns green in the ruins of a heart.

Need is a low door which, when we must by stern necessity pass through, forces the greatest to bend down the most.

Whenever we encounter the Infinite in man, however imperfectly understood, we treat it with respect. Whether in the synagogue, the mosque, the pagoda, or the wigwam, there is a hideous aspect which we execrate and a sublime aspect which we venerate. So great a subject for spiritual contemplation, such measureless dreaming - the echo of God on the human wall!

Love each other dearly always. There is scarcely anything else in the world but that: to love one another.

Everything being a constant carnival, there is no carnival left.

The rich's paradise was created by the poor's hell.
