"If a fact does not modify your logic on being known, either you don't believe the fact or it is not a fact."
"Misunderstanding is generally simpler than true understanding, and hence has more potential for popularity."
"Intellect, at its best, can make you agnostic. Being theist or atheist is still a matter of choice."
"Present, rather than past, is the mother of future. So, your future must take after your present. But if it resembles more your past, the granny must be a slut!"
"Love, endure, persist... Everything will return to you, innocent fool!"
"The most ridiculous activity of human mind is questioning. Cognition of reality surpasses both question and answer, however ingenious."
"Determinism gives you the freedom to do whatever you like."
"If proof were the standard of truth, fallacies would constitute the ultimate reality."
"World is so full of idiots that you can't even imagine to escape. The only solution is isolation. But it still spares one!"
"Man is slave of emotions when they arise, and master of them when they don't."
"Do not judge a man by where he stands, but how he reached there."
"Paradoxes are less paradoxical in their reference to truth than most of the most plausible axioms."
"Desire is a great virtue, but expectation is an even greater vice."
"Philosophy is an infertile hybrid. Life is a prolific hermaphrodite."
"All humans learn from each other's mistakes. Intelligent humans learn how to avoid them, idiots how to do them."
"Melancholy is an escape not from reality, but unreality of the world."
"Philosophers wonder when they do not know, artists when they do."
"The truth is not what I look for. It is what I look at!"
"A successful father is not more successful than his children."
"An apparent misfortune of man is that neither good nor evil is an agency itself; both are equally passive choices. Man himself is the ultimate agency. He has the power to realize and activate the dead options. Only then, that is, by the action of Will, good results in good and evil in evil."
"Rules are where there is a lack. They are to make up the deficiency, explicit or implicit. The system of existence, being complete in itself, is in no need to follow any of them. The appearance of disorder---or even order, in contrast---is when we observe something as a detached entity. Taken as a whole, the Universe is absolute, nothing being lacking, insignificant, or improvable. So, any such thing as a Theory of Everything (TOE) is a mere chimera."
"Life always involves some logic in its manifestations, and logic, as a rule, excludes the versatility of life from its considerations."
"Predictability is not how things will go, but how they can go."
"Fortunately or unfortunately, the greatest authority on matters of life is life itself."
"The concept of Free Will makes no sense unless associated, somehow or the other, with Absolute Determinism; it is just as a man cannot walk without gravity arresting and spurring his pace simultaneously."
"The greatest tragedy with a sceptic is that he cannot consign himself to truth, however he may see it."
"The sense of alienation that inspires wonder, awe and fear in us is enough of a proof that life does not belong to the planet Earth."
"Our desires are guided by what we believe to be good or bad; our beliefs are directed by our knowledge; our knowledge, in turn, is again a manipulation of our desires. Our Will, during this inexorable revolution, serves as the force, increasing, decreasing, or at worst, maintaining the pace."
