Mysteries Are Feminine; They Like To Veil

It Is Individuality Which Is The Original And Eternal Within Man; Personality Doesn't Matter So Much. To Pursue The Education And Development Of This Individuality As One's Highest Vocation Would Be A Divine Egoism.

All The Great Truths Are Basically Trivial And So We Have To Find New Ways, Preferably Paradoxical Ways, Of Expressing Them, In Order To Keep Them From Falling Into Oblivion.

Nothing Is More Piquant Than When A Man Of Genius Possesses Mannerisms; Not So When They Possess Him -- This Leads To Spiritual Petrification.

An Aphorism Ought To Be Entirely Isolated From The Surrounding World Like A Little Work Of Art And Complete In Itself Like A Hedgehog.

Those Works Whose Ideal Has Not As Much Living Reality And, As It Were, Personality As The Beloved One Or A Friend Had Better Remain Unwritten. They Would At Least Never Become Works Of Art.
