Instinct perfected is a faculty of using and even constructing organized instruments; intelligence perfected is the faculty of making and using unorganized instruments.

Genius is that which forces the inertia of humanity to learn.

Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science.

Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed.

And I also see how this body influences external images: it gives back movement to them.

You will obtain a vision of matter that is perhaps fatiguing for your imagination, but pure and stripped of what the requirements of life make you add to it in external perception.
