Our reason arises, at the very least, from this twofold lesson of sensuous revelations and human testimonies.

Thus the public use of reason and freedom is nothing but a dessert, a sumptuous dessert.

If only I was as eloquent as Demosthenes, I would have to do no more than repeat a single word three times.

Being, belief and reason are pure relations, which cannot be dealt with absolutely, and are not things but pure scholastic concepts, signs for understanding, not for worshipping, aids to awaken our attention, not to fetter it.

Every phenomenon of nature was a word, - the sign, symbol and pledge of a new, mysterious, inexpressible but all the more intimate union, participation and community of divine energies and ideas.
