“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
“From childhood’s hour I have not been. As others were; I have not seen. As others saw; I could not bring. My passions from a common spring.”
“Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.”
“Invisible things are the only realities.”
“I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active—not more happy—nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.”
“In death—no! Even in the grave all is not lost. Else there is no immortality for man.”
“To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths!”
“There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless which cannot be touched without emotion, even by the utterly lost, to whom life and death are equally jests, there are matters of which no jest can be made.”
“There is no exquisite beauty…without some strangeness in the proportion.”
“All suffering originates from craving, from attachment, from desire.”
“If we cannot comprehend God in his visible works, how then in his inconceivable thoughts, that call the works into being?”
