By object is meant some element in the complex whole that is defined in abstraction from the whole of which it is a distinction.

The dynamic element in my philosophy, taken as a whole, can be seen as an obstinate and untiring battle against the spirit of abstraction.

Distinction is the consequence, never the object of a great mind.

Anyone who has begun to think, places some portion of the world in jeopardy.

One lives with so many bad deeds on one's conscience and some good intentions in one's heart.

Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.
