The Most Familiar Precepts Are Not Always

We Love Only What We Do Not Wholly Possess.

The Tiny, Initial Clue ... By Allowing Us To Imagine What We Do Not Know, Stimulates A Desire For Knowledge.

To Understand A Profound Thought Is To Have, At The Moment One Understands It, A Profound Thought Oneself; And This Demands Some Effort, A Genuine Descent To The Heart Of Oneself . . . Only Desire And Love Give Us The Strength To Make This Effort. The Only Books That We Truly Absorb Are Those We Read With Real Appetite, After Having Worked Hard To Get Them, So Great Had Been Our Need Of Them.

A Work In Which There Are Theories Is Like An Object Which Still Has The Ticket That Shows Its Price.

Love Is A Reciprocal Torture.
