“It is usually unbearably painful to read a book by an author who knows way less than you do, unless the book is a novel.”

“You may have good skills and better knowledge, but it is your attitude that will bring people closer to you.”

“Knowledge deepens with experience.”

“Do I make up some ‘god’ in my mind, or do I make up my mind to know God?”

“The common theme of common sense is that it’s commonly rejected as uncommonly demanding.”

“In old days, instead of asking a teacher, people looked at the dictionary to know the complete definition of teacher. Now Google becomes our teacher and to know about Google, people Google it.”

“Many people know they’re working, but not what they’re working.”

“To begin to know ourselves we must have sincere conversations with ourselves as if with a good friend. We must answer without reserve, listen without judgement, and accept without condition. That is self-love.”

“If Socrates was alive today he would say : I know that I know everything. That’s what contemporary philosophers do.”

“We pimp our precious lives to the infernal gnashing babble – Follow me! Friend me! Like me! But don’t ever know me.”

“When left alone, quantum particles behave as multiple images of themselves (as waves, really), simultaneously moving through all possible paths in space and time. Now, again, why do we not experience this multitude around ourselves? Is it because we are probing things around us all the time? Why do all experiments that involve, say, the position of a particle make the particle suddenly be somewhere rather than everywhere? No one knows. Before you probe it, a particle is a wave of possibilities. After you’ve probed it, it is somewhere, and subsequently it is somewhere for ever, rather than everywhere again. Strange, that. Nothing, within the laws of quantum physics, allows for such a collapse to happen. It is an experimental mystery and a theoretical one. Quantum physics stipulates that whenever something is there, it can transform into something else, of course, but it cannot disappear. And since quantum physics allows for multiple possibilities simultaneously, these possibilities should then keep existing, even after a measurement is made. But they don’t. Every possibility but one vanishes. We do not see any of the others around us. We live in a classical world, where everything is based on quantum laws but nothing resembles the quantum world.”

“Now if we only knew what it means to know, we would be conscious.”

“If I knew then what I know now I guess it’d make no difference; Fate’s sure in the way somehow. What’s important is the essence. Although we still have free will We also have a whole lot to deal.”

“The more we know, the more we grief.”
