No one can afford to look downward for his enjoyments.
It is now almost my sole rule of life to clear myself of cants and formulas, as of poisonous Nessus shirts.

Not what you possess but what you do with what you have, determines your true worth.
The devil has his elect.
Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.
We need more people who love humanity and the world, people who want to understand each other.
You do not get peace by shouting: Peace. Peace is a meaningless word; what we need is a glorious peace.
There will soon be no more priests. . . They may wait awhile, perhaps a generation or two, dropping off by degrees. A superior breed shall take their place. A new order shall arise and they shall be the priests of man, and every man shall be his own priest.
The word "metaphor" means carrying something from one place to another. . . and it is when you describe something by using a word for something that it isn't. This means that the word "metaphor" is a metaphor. I think it should be called a lie because a pig is not like a day and people people do not have skeletons in their cupboards. And when I try and make a picture of the phrase in my head it just confuses me because imagining and apple in someone's eye doesn't have anything to do with liking someone a lot and it makes you forget what the person was talking about.
