The fire which enlightens is the same fire which consumes.

Man is not the lord of beings. 

Man is the shepherd of Being.

If our titles recall the known myths of antiquity, 

we have used them again 

because they are the eternal symbols upon which we must fall back 

to express basic psychological ideas.

Most of the time one is discouraged by the work, 

but now and again 

by some grace 

something stands out 

and invites you to work on it, 

to elaborate it 

or animate it in some way. 

It's a mysterious process.

The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.

I am optimistic 

when I consider the spiritual dimension 

which the scientist's discipline 

forces him to ignore.

Mediocre minds usually dismiss anything which reaches beyond their own understanding.

The greatest writers of this age ... 

are aware of the mystery of our existence.

The plain fact is that there are no conclusions.

Every new concept first comes to the mind in a judgment.

My personal hobbies are reading, 

listening to music, 

and silence.

When somebody goes outside the cultural norms, 

the culture has to protect itself.

We carry our homes within us 

which enables us to fly.

On our plane 

knowledge and ignorance 

are the immemorial adversaries.

Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, 

before the dark hour of reason grows.
