“A great scientist once said that genius consists not in making great discoveries but in seeing the connection between small discoveries.”

“How strange to think that you cannot pass along the discovery.”

“Small disconnected facts, if you take note of them, have a way of becoming connected.”

“In some evolving civilizations, for reasons which we don't entirely understand, the evolution of consciousness is attended by a disaster of some sort which occurs shortly after the Sy breakthrough. It has something to do with the discovery of the self and the incapacity to deal with it, the consciousness becoming self-conscious but not knowing what to do with the self, not even knowing what its self is, and so ending by being that which is not, and making others what they are not.”

“Where there is chance of gain, there is also chance of loss. Whenever one courts great happiness, one also risks malaise.”

“There is no pain on this earth like seeing the same woman look at another man the way she once looked at you.”

“You live in a deranged age - more deranged than usual, because despite great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.”
