“The majority of philosophies and of various spiritual movements teach that the highest achievement is to know thyself. Of course, there is nothing bad about the attempt to know ourselves better; a noble endeavor… But, if this is the prevailing dogma, then I must admit that I am a dissident. After all, you’ll never find your true self no matter how hard you try, no matter how close you’ll come to that. For me, the greatest of achievements is to be a good human, a gentle soul. And it is not as easy as it seems. Goodness, joyfulness, compassion are what we need in this world; no more unworkable knowledge without wisdom, no more holy grails!”

“What do you take me for! Brain scientist here! You know what it means? It means I know your deepest fantasies as well as your darkest secrets - it means I know more about you than you know about yourself. Yet have I ever belittled you? Never! You know why? Because, by knowing the worst in you I came to now the best in you. Know your worst my friend - for once you conquer your worst you'll automatically manifest your best.”
