Man seeks to learn, and man kills himself because of the loss of cohesion in his religious society; he does not kill himself because of his learning. It is certainly not the learning he acquires that disorganizes religion; but the desire for knowledge wakens because religion becomes disorganized.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
The world of learning is so broad, and the human soul is so limited in power!
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

The soul is everlasting, and its learning experience is lifetime after lifetime.
To attain any assured knowledge about the soul is one of the most difficult things in the world.
The point of a philosophical spirit is to rely primarily upon one's own thinking.
