By symbols, accordingly, is man guided and commanded, made happy, made wretched.

 In books lies the soul of the whole past time.

 In every object there is inexhaustible meaning; the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing

 In every phenomenon the beginning remains always the most notable moment.
