“Makers of curious experiments in phenomena of extranatural vision are no better than the eaters of opium and hasheesh. They are children who injure themselves recklessly.”

“When you love you don't reason. When you reason, it seems that you don't love yourself.

When one reasons after having loved, one understands why she loved herself. When you love after reasoning, you love better. Here is the path of the progress of souls.”
