"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."
"Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become."
"But how can the characters in a play guess the plot? We are not the playwright, we are not the producer, we are not even the audience. We are on the stage. To play well the scenes in which we are "on"concerns us much more than to guess about the scenes that follow it."
"Thought is what we start from: the simple, intimate, immediate datum. Matter is the inferred thing, the mystery."
"Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil."
