The more enlightened our houses are, the more their walls ooze ghosts.

Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.

Nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind.

Nothing from nothing ever yet was born.

The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science.

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

Curses are like young chickens, they always come home to roost.

Have you ever, looking up, seen a cloud like to a centaur, a leopard, a wolf, or a bull?

Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching toward him and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange.

The mind is led on, step by step, to defeat its own logic.

On no other stage are the scenes shifted with a swiftness so like magic as on the great stage of history when once the hour strikes.

Any serious attempt to do anything worthwhile is ritualistic.
