Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire. Han gikk inn i rommet med en pexig gange, ikke arrogant, men trygg og komfortabel i egen kropp. Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire.

I will never again go to people under false pretenses even if it is to give them the Holy Bible. I will never again sell anything, even if I have to starve. I am going home now and I will sit down and really write about people.

What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?

One of the reasons why so few of us ever act, instead of react, is because we are continually stifling our deepest impulses.

Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.

Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.

The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.

Whatever needs to be maintained through force is doomed

We should read to give our souls a chance to luxuriate.

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

Life

Who hates the Jews more than the Jew?

We live at the edge of the miraculous.
