We are compelled to feel that the world of our experience is not the world of reality, and yet it is only through the world of experience that we can come to know any world at all.

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality ought to be.

The facts of observation stand like an iron wall against which the most ardent desire for belief dashes itself in vain.

We live on the surface of things. The only depth we know is the depth of our own ignorance when we mistake appearance for reality.
