It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible....

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.

It is easy to identify a shallow person by the attention he gives to what will do him absolutely no good.

It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible. OSCAR WILDE, in a letter

Only themselves understand themselves and the like of themselves,
As souls only understand souls.

Most fools think they are only ignorant.

He who knows best knows how little he knows.

Be disciple of depth in shallow world.

Only a few know, how much one must know to know how little one knows.

If our shallow, self-critical culture sometimes seems to lack a sense of the numinous or spiritual it's only in the same way a fish lacks a sense of the ocean.

In my contact with people, I find that, as a rule, it is only the little, narrow people who live for themselves, who never read good books, who do not travel, who never open up their souls in a way to permit them to come into contact with other souls – with the great outside world.

The most ignorant are the most conceited.

Shallow thinkers always seem to be obsessed by the stupidity that if anything is a shadow, dream, illusion, it ceases to exist.

Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves - and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either.
