Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.

In looking out upon the world, we forget that the world is looking at itself.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

But we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us.

The difficulty for most of us in the modern world is that the old-fashioned idea of God has become incredible or implausible.

A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world.
