“I do not know how to make a distinction between tears and music”

“For nothing is more democratic than logic; it is no respecter of persons and makes no distinction between crooked and straight noses.”

“I love those who do not know how to live, except by going under, for they are those who cross over.”

“I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance.”

“I love those that know not how to live except as down-goers, for they are the over-goers.”

“How lovely it is that there are words and sounds. Are not words and sounds rainbows and illusive bridges between things which are eternally apart?”

“You know these things as thoughts, but your thoughts are not your experiences, they are an echo and after-effect of your experiences: as when your room trembles when a carriage goes past. I however am sitting in the carriage, and often I am the carriage itself.Ina man who thinks like this, the dichotomy between thinking and feeling, intellect and passion, has really disappeared. He feels his thoughts. He can fall in love with an idea. An idea can make him ill.”
