The theologians have recognized that the ideal is the imitation of God. If we be a part of such an organic thing, this thing is God to us, as I am God to the cells that compose me.

I'm an idealist.

The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.

A true and worthy ideal frees and uplifts a people; a false ideal imprisons and lowers.

The way you become divine is to become wholly human.

In India, you're taught that there are certain qualities that make you a divine human being.

I think that we all carry the divine within us.

The divine is God's concern; the human, man's. My concern is neither the divine nor the human, not the true, good, just, free, etc., but solely what is 'mine,' and it is not a general one, but is - 'unique,' as I am unique. Nothing is more to me than myself!

All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.

I'm an idealist without illusions.
