The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name.

Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.

It is the Mother of all things under heaven. I do not know its name, but I call it Tao.

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.

The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

In each of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves.

I have learned that beyond the surface, there is another world; and beyond our daylight lies a profound darkness of the stars.

The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul.

The seat of the soul is where the inner and the outer worlds meet.

The serious problems in life are never fully solved. If ever they should seem to be so, it is a sure sign that something has been lost.

Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.

The small wisdom is like water in a glass: clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.

Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.

Live with the unknown as your sacred home.

There is no greater mystery than this: we are Reality itself, yet we seek Reality elsewhere.

The mystery of life is revealed to the silent heart.

What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.

We find in ourselves the labyrinth of which the world is the outer wall.

The torch of chaos and doubt is what the sage steers by.

When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.

It is not down on any map; true places never are.

Remain in wonder if you want the mysteries to open up for you. Mysteries never open up to those who go on questioning.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.

The soul has been given its own ears to hear things the mind does not understand.
