In spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, one can never really communicate anything to anybody.

Our life is a sentence of perpetual solitary confinement.

Today we are faced, I think, with the approach of what may be called the ultimate revolution, the final revolution, where man can act directly on the mind-body of his fellows.
