Everybody has a world, and that world is completely hidden until we begin to inquire. As soon as we do, that entire world opens to us and yields itself. And you see how full and complex it is.

I've always thought that we, as human beings, would be naive and arrogant to pretend that we're the only life form in the galaxy.

It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

We are born in the world because we have to learn something through whatever we're born into. Although it might be awful. That's why it's an illusion to think that we really run our lives. We don't.

When we imagine our Universe to be just one out of a multitude of possible worlds we devalue this world, the one we see, the one we should be trying to explain.

It's just too egotistical to think that we are the only lifeform in the universe.

The world was not created once and for all time for each of us individually. There are added to it in the course of our life things of which we have never had any suspicion.

We are shaped by each other. We adjust not to the reality of a world, but to the reality of other thinkers.

The world ultimately is what we say it is.
