Seite 182 - Greece and India are indeed the two opposite poles in the historical development of the Aryan man. To the Greek, existence is full of life and reality ; to the Hindu, it is a dream and illusion.
Seite ccxxxiii - And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image : I will make thy grave ; for thou art vile.
