“The Godhead is effective in the living and not in the dead, in the becoming and the changing, not in the become and the set-fast; and therefore, similarly, the reason is concerned only to strive towards the divine through the becoming and the living, and the understanding only to make use of the become and the set-fast.”

“If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.”

“To live within limits. To want one thing. Or a few things very much and love them dearly. Cling to them, survey them from every angle. Become one with them - that is what makes the poet, the artist, the human being.”

“What I possess, seems far away to me, and what is gone becomes reality.”

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.”

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”

“The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.”
