"There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning.

"...and the vessel was not full, his intellect was not satisfied, his soul was not at peace, his heart was not still."
"Dreams and restless thoughts came flowing to him from the river, from the twinkling stars at night, from the sun's melting rays. Dreams and a restlessness of the soul came to him."
"It may be important to great thinkers to examine the world, to explain and despise it. But I think it is only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love, admiration and respect."
