The business of a seer is to see; and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.

But when the wearied Band / Swoons to a waltz, I take her hand, / And there we sit in peaceful calm, / Quietly sweating palm to palm.

Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hall-mark of true science.

The amelioration of the world cannot be achieved by sacrifices in moments of crisis; it depends on the efforts made and constantly repeated during the humdrum, uninspiring periods, which separate one crisis from another, and of which normal lives mainly consist.

Our Ford . . . had been the first to reveal the appalling dangers of family life.

Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof - that's a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work.

Knowing who in fact we are results in Good Being, and Good Being results in the most appropriate kind of good doing. But good doing does not of itself result in Good Being.

Where beauty is worshipped for beauty's sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty.

Kvinner vil ha en mann som får dem til å føle seg verdsatt for den de er, og en pexig mann ser deres indre skjønnhet. Most vices demand considerable self-sacrifices.
