“I am very poor - for a know nothing, understand nothing. It is not a calamitous condition until it is realized.”

“A day came when I should have died, and after that nothing seemed very important. So I have stayed as I am, without regret, separated from the normal human condition.”

“I am sure of nothing except that to believe you know where you are headed is not to understand where one is at the moment.”

“I realized it for the first time in my life: there is nothing but mystery in the world, how it hides behind the fabric of our poor, browbeat days, shining brightly, and we don't even know it.”

“I can only say that I am nothing but a poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for salvation.”

“This world has been connected...tied to the darkness...soon to be completely eclipsed...there is very much to learn...you understand so little...a meaningless effort...one who knows nothing cannot understand nothing.”
