The man of today, who resembles more or less the collective ideal, has made his heart into a den of murderers, as can easily be proved by the analysis of his unconscious, even though he himself is not in the least disturbed by it.
Only a fool is interested in other people's guilt, since he cannot alter it. The wise man learns only from his own guilt. He will ask himself: Who am I that all this should happen to me? To find the answer to this fateful question he will look into his own heart.
Your vision will be clearer only when you manage to see within your heart.
We know that the wildest and most moving dramas are played not in the theatre but in the hearts of ordinary men and women.
Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.
An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough.

Hitler is a shy and friendly man with artistic tastes and gifts.
The answer to human life is not to be found within the limits of human life.
