“We are so fond of being out in Nature because it has no opinions of us.”

“For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being; naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.”

“It often occurs to me that we love most what makes us miserable. In my opinion, the damned are damned because they enjoy being damned.”

“We know the existence of the infinite without knowing its nature, because it too has extension but unlike us no limits.But we do not know either the existence or the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.”

“Not as intolerable as being dead, in my opinion, but I'm very fond of me. I would miss me a lot.”

“We speak of nature; it is folly; there is no such thing as nature; what we call by that misleading name is merely heredity and training. We have no thoughts of our own, no opinions of our own; they are transmitted to us, trained into us.”
