Many are the wonders of the world, and none so wonderful as man.

Nothing from nothing ever yet was born.

Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one’s bath like a lump of sugar.

The subconscious is ceaselessly murmuring, and it is by listening to these murmurs that one hears the truth.
