Strive Not To Be A Success, But

That Which Is Impenetrable To Us Really Exists. Behind The Secrets Of Nature Remains Something Subtle, Intangible, And Inexplicable. Veneration For This Force Beyond Anything That We Can Comprehend Is My Religion.

Isn't It Strange That I Who Have Written Only Unpopular Books Should Be Such A Popular Fellow?

Science Not Only Purifies The Religious Impulse Of The Dross Of Its Anthropomorphism But Also Contributes To A Religious Spiritualization Of Our Understanding Of Life.

Without The Sense Of Fellowship With Men Of Like Mind, Of Preoccupation With The Objective, The Eternally Unattainable In The Field Of Art And Scientific Research, Life Would Have Seemed To Me Empty.

In Living Through This Great Epoch, It Is Difficult To Reconcile Oneself To The Fact That One Belongs To That Mad, Degenerate Species That Boasts Of Its Free Will. How I Wish That Somewhere There Existed An Island For Those Who Are Wise And Of Good Will. In Such A Place Even I Should Be An Ardent Patriot!
