The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see.

What can be shown, cannot be said.

Nothing is more real than nothing.

There is nothing, nothing certain but the nothingness of all that is comprehensible to us, and the grandeur of something incomprehensible, but more important!

There is something truer and more real, than what we can see with the eyes, and touch with the finger.

nothing can be known, save what is true;

The reality we can put into words is never reality itself.

Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know.

Sie müssen sowohl an Dinge glauben, die Sie nicht sehen können, als auch an Dinge, die Ihrer Meinung nach bewiesenermaßen unmöglich sind.

Something we cannot see protects us from something we do not understand. The thing we cannot see is culture, in its intrapsychic or internal manifestation. The thing we do not understand is the chaos that gave rise to culture. If the structure of culture is disrupted, unwittingly, chaos returns. We will do anything — anything — to defend ourselves against that return.

We cannot say what reality is, only what it seems like to us.

Nothing is so firmly believed as that which is least known.

What's real and what's true aren't necessarily the same.

There is no truth. There is only perception.
