“God is unknown; anything we said about God has no validity, because our knowledge about Him is zero, absolutely nothing!”

The best advice I’ve ever heard about anything is this: Don’t exaggerate! When you work hard, when you sleep long, when you love much, when you are very sad, always remember this advice: Don’t exaggerate!

Don’t look for an unshakable rock to stand on; there ain’t any! Rather, learn how to stand still on a shaking rock!

Put a very clever man next to a genius, his brightness will immediately turn to dullness!

When somebody criticise you, be happy and thankful because they have given you an opportunity to think about the matter more precisely and more detailed!

A leader without a vision is just a letter without a stamp; it can never reach his destination.

Applauds of the ignorant majority are worthless; applauds of the wise minority are priceless! Look carefully, who are applauding you? Look carefully, who are blessing you? Mud in the ground or stars in the sky?

Make walks in the nights to benefit from the education of silence!

Optimists are childish; they even believe they can find an ice cream store in the hell!

Why pay money for the horror movies? Just go to a street without trees!

Some people are so weak that whenever they see a hammer, they immediately turn into a nail!

In autumn, don’t go to jewellers to see gold; go to the parks!

Not every ant which stays under the elephant’s foot dies; the most powerful cannot always kill the weakest!

For a great master, everyone is a master, because he learns from everyone! For a great master, everything is a master, because he learns from everything!

Under a cherry tree, all burdens of life fly away!

God may be the captain pilot of the universe, but it appears that the Devil is his co-pilot!

Man is a tireless traveller wandering in the dark valleys of his past!

The truth about Pearl Harbour is obscured to this day. But it has been much studied.

I find the lure of the unknown irresistible.

Horror and the unknown or the strange are always closely connected so that it is hard to create a convincing picture of shattered natural law or cosmic alienage or ‘outsideness’ without laying stress on the emotion of fear.

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.

The urge to discover, to invent, to know the unknown, seems so deeply human that we cannot imagine our history without it.

I am going away with him to an unknown country where I shall have no past and no name, and where I shall be born again with a new face and an untried heart.

[H]istory is seen in a rear-view mirror while the future is the dark, foggy road ahead, filled with unknown trouble.

Now, however, an attack may come without warning from an unknown enemy, to achieve unclear motives.
