“There is something at the bottom of every new human thought, every thought of genius, or even every earnest thought that springs up in any brain, which can never be communicated to others, even if one were to write volumes about it and were explaining one's idea for thirty-five years; there's something left which cannot be induced to emerge from your brain, and remains with you forever; and with it you will die, without communicating to anyone perhaps the most important of your ideas.”

“إنَّ جوهرَ العاطفة الدينية مستقلٌ عنْ جميعِ البراهين، وجميعِ الأفعالِ السيّئة وجميعِ الجرائمِ وجميعِ مذاهبِ الإلحاد. إنَّ في هذهِ العاطفة شيئًا لا يمكنُ أنْ تنالهُ أدلّةُ الملحدين في يومٍ مِنَ الأيام. وسيظلُّ الأمرُ على هذا النحوِ أبدَ الدّّهْر.”

“I’m never sad when a friend goes far away, because whichever city or country that friend goes to, they turn the place friendly. They turn a suspicious-looking name on the map into a place where a welcome can be found. Maybe the friend will talk about you sometimes, to other friends that live around him, and then that’s almost as good as being there yourself. You’re in several places at once! In fact, my daughter, I would even go so far as to say that the further away your friends, and the more spread out they are the better your chances of going safely through the world…”
