"All is a riddle, and the key..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“There are moods in which we court suffering, in the hope that here, at least, we shall find reality, sharp peaks and edges of truth. But it turns out to be scene-painting and counterfeit. The only thing grief has taught me is to know how shallow it is.”

“I honor health as the first Muse.”

“There is in nature a parallel unity which corresponds to the unity in the mind and makes it available. This methodizing mind meets no resistance in its attempts. The scattered blocks, with which it strives to form a symmetrical structure, fit. This design following after finds with joy that like design went before. Not only man puts things in a row, but things belong in a row.”

“Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.”

“Something deeply hidden had to be behind things.”

“Those people have seen 'something'. What it is I do not know and I can not care to know.”

“The greatest moments in life are not concerned with selfish achievements, but rather with the things we do for others”

“Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals.”

“So as through a glass and darklyThe age long strife I seeWhere I fought in many guises,Many names - but always me.”
