“Life is the greatest of all mysteries, and though I seek to solve its many riddles, my deepest fear is that I will succeed.”

Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side. I am not a cultivated man, brother, but I've thought a lot about this. It's terrible what mysteries there are! Too many riddles weigh men down on earth. We must solve them as we can, and try to keep a dry skin in the water.”

“It's just that I take riddling seriously. I was taught that the ability to solve them indicates a sane and rational mind.”

“Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.”
