When you have seen one ant, one bird, one tree, you have not seen them all.

Genius... is the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one.

The things which I have seen I now can see no more.

He who has seen everything empty itself is close to knowing what everything is filled with.

Who is richer? The man who is seen, but cannot see? Or the man who is not being seen, but can see?

The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them.

Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.

Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all.

Nobody sees the obvious, nobody observes the ordinary. There are more miracles in a square yard of earth than in all the fables of the Church.
