|  The new always carries with it the sense of violation, of sacrilege. What is dead is sacred; what is new, that is different, is evil, dangerous, or subversive. | | The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference. | | Moralities, ethics, laws, customs, beliefs, doctrines - these are of trifling import. All that matters is that the miraculous become the norm. | | In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest. | | Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. | | Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. | | Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing: it comes and goes. But if one believes, then miracles occur. | | We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy. | | Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood. | | And what is the potential man, after all? Is he not the sum of all that is human? Divine, in other words? | | What does it matter how one comes by the truth so long as one pounces upon it and lives by it? | | The world dies over and over again, but the skeleton always gets up and walks. |
