-Every man who adopts a serious attitude before his own existence and makes himself fully responsible for it will feel a certain kind of insecurity which urges him to keep ever on the alert.
-We are what out worlds invites us to be, and the basic features of our soul are impressed upon it by the form of its surroundings as in a mold.
-Our life is no other than our relations with the world around.
-Contrary to what it is usually thought. it is the man of excellence, and not the common man who lives in essential servitude.
-As one advances in life, one realizes more and more that the majority of men and women are incapable of any other effort than that strictly imposed on them as a reaction to external compulsion. For that reason, the few individuals we have come across who are capable of a spontaneous and joyous effort stand out isolated, monumentalised, so to speak, in our experience. These are the select men, the nobles, the only ones who are active and not merely reactive, for whom life is a perpetual striving.
-European civilization has brought about the rebellion of the masses.
