“When you discard arrogance, complexity, and a few other things that get in the way, sooner or later you will discover that simple, childlike, and mysterious secret known to those of the Uncarved Block: Life is Fun.”

“It hardly needs to be said: sooner or later secrets have a way of making themselves known.”

“For it is said, you know, that a letter will always seek a reader; that sooner or later, like it or not, words have a way of finding the light, of making their secrets known.”

“If you have a complex life, make it simple; if you have a simple life, continue it that way!”

“Remain in wonder if you want the mysteries to open up for you. Mysteries never open up for those who go on questioning. Questioners sooner or later end up in a library. Questioners sooner or later end up with scriptures, because scriptures are full of answers.And answers are dangerous, they kill your wonder.”

“Besides, there are no secrets. Sooner or later the truth leaks out. That's one thing I've learned in this life.”
