“Every thing in this world exist to wear you down”

“But we have not understood the world; how its way is to destroy without destroying, the way air levels a mountain; things fly apart in a vacuum...It wears us to the hard thing we cannot help being;and if the only hard thing is our determinationnot to be hard, it wears us down to that.”

“you might go down in history ,but every thing gose down eventually.”

“Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house, a world; and beyond its world a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you: build, therefore, your own world.”

“Be curious about the world in which you live. Look things up. Chase down every reference. Go deeper than anybody else--that's how you'll get ahead.”

“None but God is loved in the existent things. It is He who is manifest within every beloved to the eye of every lover – and there is nothing in the existent realm that is not a lover”
