I Do, Indeed, Close My Door At

The Perfection Of Any Matter, The Highest Or The Lowest, Touches On The Divine.

I'm Not Sure I Can Take Your Advice. You Are Dealing With English Gentlemen. We Are Dealing With Monsters.

Here Is The Infallible Test. Imagine Yourself In A Situation Where You Are Alone, Wholly Alone On Earth, And You Are Offered One Of The Two, Books Or Men. I Often Hear Men Prizing Their Solitude But That Is Only Because There Are Still Men Somewhere On Earth Even Though In The Far Distance. I Knew Nothing Of Books When I Came Forth From The Womb Of My Mother, And I Shall Die Without Books, With Another Human Hand In My Own. I Do, Indeed, Close My Door At Times And Surrender Myself To A Book, But Only Because I Can Open The Door Again And See A Human Being Looking At Me.

It Is Usual To Think Of Good And Evil As Two Poles, Two Opposite Directions, The Antithesis Of One Another...we Must Begin By Doing Away With This Convention.

Human Life And Humanity Come Into Being In Genuine Encounters. The Hope For This Hour Depends Upon The Renewal Of The Immediacy Of Dialogue Among Human Beings.
