Entry 277

As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins.
Albert Schweitzer

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and all science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead:
his eyes are closed.

Einstein


True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.
François de la Rochefoucauld

Entry 276

It is not what you say that matters but the manner in which you say it; there lies the secret of the ages.

When I am alone I am happy.

William Carlos Williams
