“Thinking must never submit itself, neither to a dogma, nor to a party, nor to a passion, nor to an interest, nor to a preconceived idea, nor to whatever it may be, if not to facts themselves, because, for it, to submit would be to cease to be.”

“There are places in this world that are neither here nor there, neither up nor down, neither real nor imaginary...”

“And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic nor popular - but one must take it because it is right.”

“There is a period between each night and day when one dies for a few hours, neither dreaming nor thinking nor tossing nor hating nor loving, but dying for a little while because life progresses in just such a way.”

“There is neither creation nor destruction,neither destiny nor free will, neitherpath nor achievement.This is the final truth.”

“At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.”
