Quote

How miserable a solipsist is! It is rather senseless for him to even assert his belief in solipsism, for, on the one hand, if his belief is false it is like committing intellectual suicide, and, on the other hand, if his belief is true it is an act of intellectual insanity.

The more I find life to be a great design, the more I suspect it to be singular in existence the more I suspect it to be singular, the more I feel it to be specific and personal the more I feel it to be personal, the more I think of it to be a mere question And the more I think of it to be a question, the less I understand the questioner.

Every noble action is selfish. Some selfish actions are nobler than others. But they are all selfish. And as such there can be no action purely noble anyway. Even the nobility in God's great philosophical intentions is bounded by his vanity.
