Letter to Mrs. Blumberg 27 September 1977En inglés “There is not an idea that cannot be expressed in 200 words. But the writer must know precisely what he wants to say.”
Letter to Mrs. Blumberg 27 September 1977En inglés “God alone is satisfied with what He is and can proclaim: “I am what I am.” Unlike God, man strives with all his might to be what he is not. He incessantly proclaims: “I am what I am not.””
The Passionate State Of Mind, and Other AphorismsEn inglés “We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves.”
