«When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were, and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him... For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth.»
«He who knows nothing, loves nothing./ He who can do nothing understands nothing./ He who understands nothing is worthless.»
«Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster.»

«A mortal lives not through that breath that flows in and that flows out. The source of his life is another and this causes the breath to flow.»
