It’s not a silly question if you can’t answer it (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
Life is short for those who are truly able to understand that one day the entire world will come to a complete end. Not everyone is capable of that.

Maybe we can comprehend a flower or an insect, but we can never comprehend ourselves. Even less can we expect to comprehend the universe (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
The question of whether a thing is right or wrong, good or bad, must always be considered in relation to a persons needs (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
You can never know if a person forgives you when you wrong them. Therefore it is existentially important to you. It is a question you are intensely concerned with. Neither can you know whether a person loves you. It’s something you just have to believe or hope. But these things are more important to you than the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. You don’t think about the law of cause and effect or about modes of perception when you are in the middle of your first kiss (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
... perhaps the clock hands had become so tired of going in the same direction year after year that they had suddenly begun to go the opposite way instead (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
When you realize there is something you don’t understand, then you’re generally on the right path to understanding all kinds of things (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
A sensation is always the same as a piece of news, and a piece of news never lives long (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
A joker is a little fool who is different from everyone else. He’s not a club, diamond, heart, or spade. He’s not an eight or a nine, a king or a jack. He is an outsider. He is placed in the same pack as the other cards, but he doesn’t belong there. Therefore, he can be removed without anybody missing him (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
How terribly sad it was that people are made in such a way that they get used to something as extraordinary as living (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
Athens is like a sluggish horse, and I am the gadfly trying to sting it into life (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
A philosopher knows that in reality he knows very little. That is why he constantly strives to achieve true insight. Socrates was one of these rare people. He knew that he knew nothing about life and about the world. And now comes the important part: it troubled him that he knew so little (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
The rearing of children is considered too important to be left to the individual and should be the responsibility of the state (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
A state that does not educate and train women is like a man who only trains his right arm (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
Acting responsibly is not a matter of strengthening our reason but of deepening our feelings for the welfare of others (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
Where both reason and experience fall short, there occurs a vacuum that can be filled by faith (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
It was all too easy to make things up, it was like skating on thin ice, it was like doing dainty pirouettes on a brittle crust over water thousands of fathoms deep (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
If an overgrown child draws something on a piece of paper, you can’t ask the paper what the drawing is supposed to represent (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)

The truth is that I feel totally helpless, or totally inconsolable, to be more honest. I’m not trying to hide it, but it’s something you’re not to worry about (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
There exists a world. In terms of probability this borders on the impossible. It would have been far more likely if, by chance, there was nothing at all. Then, at least, no one would have began asking why there was nothing (Jostein Gaarder Quotes)
