“Self-discovery is above all the realization that we are alone.”

“It is always difficult to give oneself up; few persons anywhere ever succeed in doing so, and even fewer transcend the possessive stage to know love for what it actually is: a perpetual discovery, and immersion in the waters of reality, an unending re-creation.”

“a human being is never what he is but the self he seeks.”

“Love is an attempt to penetrate another being, but it can only be realized if the surrender is mutual.”

“Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.”

“If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time.”

“No one behind, no one ahead.The path the ancients cleared has closed.And the other path, everyone's path,easy and wide, goes nowhere.I am alone and find my way.”
