“We stand in awe before that which cannot be seen. We respect with every fiber of our being that which cannot be explained.”

“Philosophy is written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes — I mean the universe — but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols, in which it is written”

“Sometimes nature cannot stand us. And Sometimes we cannot stand our own nature.”

“We cannot ultimately specify the grounds (either metaphysical or logical or empirical) upon which we hold that our knowledge is true. Being committed to such grounds, dwelling in them, we are projecting ourselves to what we believe to be true from or through these grounds. We cannot therefore see what they are. We cannot look at them because we are looking with them.”

“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.”

“As memory may be a paradise from which we cannot be driven, it may also be a hell from which we cannot escape.”
