Everything Depends Therefore On Encountering Thought At

Conflicts May Be The Sources Of Defeat, Lost Life And A Limitation Of Our Potentiality But They May Also Lead To Greater Depth Of Living And The Birth Of More Far-reaching Unities, Which Flourish In The Tensions That Engender Them.

I Discovered That The Study Of Past Philosophers Is Of Little Use Unless Our Own Reality Enters Into It. Our Reality Alone Allows The Thinker's Questions To Become Comprehensible.

The History Of Philosophy Is Not, Like The History Of The Sciences, To Be Studied With The Intellect Alone. That Which Is Receptive In Us And That Which Impinges Upon Us From History Is The Reality Of Man's Being, Unfolding Itself In Thought.

The More Determinedly I Exist, As Myself, Within The Conditions Of The Time, The More Clearly I Shall Hear The Language Of The Past, The Nearer I Shall Feel The Glow Of Its Life.
