Quotes

  • The usual judgments are judgments of interest and they tell us less about the nature of the person judged than about the interest of the one who judges.
  • Men are forever doing two things at the same time: acting egoistically and talking moralistically.
  • In mysticism, everything is thrown at us directly, without discursiveness and ratiocination, as if it were a matter of course, and we are challenged to follow an unrestrainable will to love, arising out of a tremendously agitated, indiscriminate feeling. … Mystics will—rather than know—their thoughts. … Mysticism witnesses nothing but love; mysticism is nothing but love. … Art shows how it loves, philosophy what it loves; mysticism knows only that it loves.
  • Christ, with whom the multitude could not deal other than by making him into God Himself, thus enabling itself to venerate as God him whom they had loathed as man.
  • Great, strong, spiritual love — which is always at the same time a genuine, unsentimental love of man — cannot be without wrath. … Anger can no more be separated from love than flame and heat can from fire. Love and anger are a single fire of the Spirit.
  • From the midst of the flat plain of human reason, there arises the terrible, fire-spewing mountain of genius.
