That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one’s own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself.

Rain was coming down in sheets. I could hear it, on the concrete outside and on the old building above me.

I could probably stand to learn something from that (Concrete Quotes)

Science condemns itself to failure when, yielding to the infatuation of the serious, it aspires to attain being, to contain it, and to possess it; but it finds its truth if it considers itself as a free engagement of thought in the given, aiming, at each discovery, not at fusion with the thing, but at the possibility of new discoveries; what the mind then projects is the concrete accomplishment of its freedom (Concrete Quotes)

Comparison of inspired poets would soon make us lose sight of inspiration (Concrete Quotes)

We must not take the choice of another being. What is community but a means to … for all we individuals to have … our choices (Concrete Quotes)
