“Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you have perceived it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day, and you will come at last to love the world with an all-embracing love.”

“Everything that surrounds us, daily incidents, ordinary circumstances, the habits of our way of life, exercises an uninterrupted influence on us, which for just that reason is imperceptible but extremely important. However beneficial and useful this circulation is for us, in so far as we are contemporaries at a certain time or members of a specific body, we are nevertheless hindered by it in the higher development of our nature. Divinatory, magical, truly poetic people cannot come into being under circumstances such as ours.”
