My own understanding is the sole treasure I possess, and the greatest. Though infinitely small and fragile in comparison with the powers of darkness, it is still a light, my only light.

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.

At the moment I am looking into astrology, which seems indispensable for a proper understanding of mythology. There are strange and wondrous things in these lands of darkness. Please, don't worry about my wanderings in these infinitudes. I shall return laden with rich booty for our knowledge of the human psyche.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that fits all cases

We need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger that exists is man himself . . . We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil.

Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a comprehensible darkness.
