“There is more in every person's soul than we think.”

“There is an optical illusion about every person we meet.”

“Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.”

“Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins”

“The soul is superior to its knowledge; wiser than any of its works.”

“We mark with light in the memory the few interviews we have had with souls that made our souls wiser, that spoke what we thought, that told us what we knew, that gave us leave to be what we inly are.”

“A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.”
