The so-called process of existence is in reality a process of imagination. World - which we always introduce ourselves as "exterior" world - available only to introspection!

Understanding is not a function of reflection, but the stage of soul growth.

An art - to make the right enemies!

Genius, who can not be helped, should be politely ignored.

The essence of the words are what they are, and people are are what they are - maybe better to say is not always what you think, but exactly the opposite?

To possess the human heart - a plague with no vaccine.

Every step into the unknown - a new mystery.

And the saints are dying with wreaths of passion on their heads.

Science is the poetry of the intellect and poetry the science of the diseases of the soul.
