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

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.

Nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind.

Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.

Nothing is so easy to fake as the inner vision.
