The capacities by which we can gain insights into higher worlds 

lie dormant within each one of us.

In consequence of inventing machines, 

men will be devoured by them.

He is the greatest artist who has embodied, 

in the sum of his works,

How I hate those who are dedicated to producing conformity.

Our Father which art in heaven

 — Stay there — 

And we will stay on earth

How lovely are the portals of the night, 

when stars come out to watch the daylight die.

Everyone wishes to have truth on his side, 

but not everyone wishes to be on the side of truth.

It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.

We live in this world

 in order always

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. 

That magnet is unselfishness,

For it is in giving that we receive.

Don't care what people say. 

Don't give a damn about their laws.

Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity.

Writing is like carrying a fœtus.

Sham liberty will be proclaimed everywhere.

Reality does not conform to the ideal, but confirms it.
