How strangely simplified and falsified does man live! One does not cease to wonder, once one has eyes to see this wonder!

Our shortcomings are the eyes with which we see the ideal

Why does man not see things? He is himself standing in the way: he conceals things.

To learn to see- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.

All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?

There are various eyes. Even the Sphinx has eyes: and as a result there are various truths, and as a result there is no truth.
