Reality is a narrow little house which becomes a prison to those who can't get out of it.

It is a tragedy of the world that no one knows what he doesn't know -- the less a man knows, the more sure it is that he knows everything.

For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity.

The will is never free --it is always attached to an object, a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car -- it can't steer.

[The] world [is] in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.
