“The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.”
“Literature is always personal, always one man's vision of the world, one man's experience, and it can only be popular when men are ready to welcome the visions of others.”
“All living souls welcome whatever they are ready to cope with; all else they ignore, or pronounce to be monstrous and wrong, or deny to be possible”
“I am convinced that life in a physical body is meant to be an ecstatic experience”
“Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.”
“Fear is a poison produced by the mind, and courage is the antidote stored always ready in the soul”
