“The more clearly one sees this world; the more one is obliged to pretend it does not exist.”

“Since the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.”

“The more science discovers and the more comprehension it gives us of the mechanisms of existence, the more clearly does the mystery of existence itself stand out.”

“The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.”

“The greatest thing a human being ever does in this world is to see something... To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.”

“Existence doesn't have more meaning in one direction than it does in any other.”
