“The difference between an admirer and a follower still remains, no matter where you are. The admirer never makes any true sacrifices. He always plays it safe. Though in words, phrases, songs, he is inexhaustible about how highly he prizes Christ, he renounces nothing, gives up nothing, will not reconstruct his life, will not be what he admires, and will not let his life express what it is he supposedly admires.”

“Admirations are never paid in any way, try to make yourself of what you admire, and it will pay you with originality.”

“There is an innocence in admiration: it occurs in one who has not yet realized that they might one day be admired.”

“The last achievement of the serious admirer is to stop immediately putting to work the energies aroused by, filling up the space opened by, what is admired. Thereby talented admirers give themselves permission to breathe, to breathe more deeply. But for that it is necessary to go beyond avidity; to identify with something beyond achievement, beyond the gathering of power.”

“Plus je vois le homes, plus j’admire les chiens” (The more I see of men, the more I admire dogs).”
