“My humanity is a constant self-overcoming.”
“The end toward which mankind is inexorably developing by the constant overcoming of internal antagonisms is not the enjoyment, ownership, or use of goods, but self-realization, creativity based upon the incorporation into the individual personality of the whole previous development of humanity. Freedom is creative universality, not utility.”
“Constant action overcomes cold; being still overcomes heat.”
“Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.”
“The self does not realize itself most fully when self-realization is its most constant aim.”
“The only way to be completely self-consistent is to be constantly uttering paradoxes.”
