“Only times and places, only names and ghosts.”

“Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one’s never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them.”

“Nothing — the only perfection, the only absolute. Infinite and eternal nothing.”

“Consciousness is only possible through change; change is only possible through movement.”

“It's a very salutary thing to realize that the rather dull universe in which most of us spend most of our time is not the only universe there is. I think it's healthy that people should have this experience.”

“Experience teaches only the teachable.”

“The only truly consistent are the dead.”
