“This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering; it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time; the light on the stars requires time; deeds though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves.”

“Lightning and thunder require time, the light of the stars requires time, deeds require time even after they are done, before they can be seen and heard.”

“Deeds need time, even after they are done, in order to be seen or heard.”

“You have evolved from worm to man, but much within you is still worm. Once you were apes, yet even now man is more of an ape than any of the apes.”

“One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”

“Do I advise you to love thy neighbor? I suggest rather to escape from thy neighbor and to love those who are the farthest away from you. Higher than the love for thy neighbor is the love for the man who is distant and has still to come.”

“But the thought is one thing, the deed is another, and another yet is the image of the deed. The wheel of causality does not roll between them.”
