Quotes

  • The profundity of truth varies with the seeing power of the spirit which seeks it.
  • I have never endorsed the claim that the Nazi big-wigs belonged to a superior race. However, I must also add that I have consistently refused to accept the claim of another such race as the chosen people. The arrogance is identical in both cases, but with this important distinction: after waging war against mankind for more than three thousand years, Judaism has finally achieved total victory over all nations of the earth.
  • Christianity is the war against sleep and dream.
  • Many first possess wealth, and are then possessed by it.
  • A man who cannot climb a tree will boast of never having fallen out of one.
  • Beauty is but the cloak of happiness. Where joy tarries, there also is beauty.
