Summary

This quote suggests that true happiness cannot be found without vulnerability and taking risks.

It emphasizes the idea that embracing vulnerability and stepping out of one's comfort zone is necessary to truly discover one's deepest joys and fulfillments in life. Only by taking these risks and being willing to be emotionally vulnerable can one hope to find genuine and lasting happiness, rather than settling for a superficial or fleeting sense of contentment.

Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice

Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us closer to the secret of the 'Old One.' I, at any rate, am convinced that He is not playing at dice.

There is a kind of laughter that sickens the soul. Laughter

There is a kind of laughter that sickens the soul. Laughter when it is out of control: when it screams and stamps its feet, and sets the bells jangling in the next town. Laughter in all its ignorance and cruelty. Laughter with the seed of Satan in it. It tramples upon shrines; the belly-roarer. It roars, it yells, it is delirious: and yet it is as cold as ice. It has no humor. It is naked noise and naked malice.
