"So they speak soothingly about progress and the greatest possible happiness forgetting that happiness is itself poisoned if the measure of suffering has not been fulfilled."

Philosophy

"It is under all circumstances an advantage to be in full possession of one's personality, otherwise the repressed elements will only crop up as a hindrance elsewhere, not just at some unimportant point, but at the very spot where we are most sensitive.

To find the answer to this fateful question he will look into his own heart."
