"A difference which makes no difference is..." - Quote by William James

“It is art that makes life, and I know of no substitute whatsoever for the force and beauty of its process.”

“A sense of humor is just common sense dancing.”

“We [may] answer the question: "Why is snow white?" by saying, "For the same reason that soap-suds or whipped eggs are white"-in other words, instead of giving the reason for a fact, we give another example of the same fact. This offering a similar instance, instead of a reason, has often been criticised as one of the forms of logical depravity in men. But manifestly it is not a perverse act of thought, but only an incomplete one. Furnishing parallel cases is the necessary first step towards abstracting the reason imbedded in them all.”

“The strongest knowledge (that of the total freedom of the human will) is nonetheless the poorest in successes: for it always has the strongest opponent, human vanity.”

“Truth is something that happens to an idea.”

“On with dance, let joy be unconfined, is my motto; whether there's any dance to dance or any joy to unconfined.”

“I have found that life persists in the midst of destruction and, therefore, there must be a higher law than that of destruction. Only under that law would a well-ordered society be intelligible and life worth living.”

“A psychoneurosis must be understood, ultimately, as the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.”

“I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.”
