Sometimes you have to shove all the surface stuff to the side in order to see what's underneath.
Conspiracies fascinate me. When I visited the Rozabal shrine in Srinagar before writing my first book, I remember thinking that the person enshrined there was no ordinary mortal. History is rife with mysteries, and that visit ignited a fire to unveil some of them.
All I can say right now is the U.S. government is not going to be able to cover this up by jailing or murdering me. Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped.
I think the prime reason for existence, for living in this world is discovery.
As long as one keeps searching, the answers will come.
The truth is revealed by removing things that stand in its light, an art not unlike sculpture, in which the artist creates, not by building, but by hacking away.
You reach deep down and bring up what feels absolutely authentic to you as you move along with the book, but you don't know everything about it. You can't.
I didn't dig it out, it was given to me. They thought it was significant, they gave me the name and I used it.
The shell must be cracked apart if what is in it is to come out, for if you want the kernel you must break the shell. And therefore if you want to discover nature's nakedness you must destroy its symbols, and the farther you get in the nearer you come to its essence. When you come to the One that gathers all things up into itself, there you must stay.
The world is his who can see through its pretension. What deafness, what stone-blind custom, what overgrown error you behold, is there only by sufferance,--by your sufferance. See it to be a lie, and you have already dealt it its mortal blow.
Realisation is nothing new to be acquired. It is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. All our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed.
Sometimes you need the things you didn't know you needed to know.
Truth lives in the cellar, error on the doorstep.
If it's the truth you seek, then darling love you'll find.
Ask the right questions, and the answers will always reveal themselves.
I don't like mysteries, which is why I want to solve them. It bothers me that there are things I don't know.
My joy as a writer is circling around and around and down and down to find out who the real person is.
There are no stories without meaning. And I am one of those men who can find it even when others fail to see it. Afterwards the story becomes the book of the living, like a blaring trumpet that raises from the tomb those who have been dust for centuries.
Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.
I've always loved mysteries, the something there that you didn't know, and with 'Case Histories' I just decide to make that more up-front.
Curiosity engenders both science and scandal.
You will free yourself from emotional drama by uncovering all the lies you believe in. It is a process of unlearning the lies. It is a period of cleansing, and it has nothing to do with the dream of society.
You cannot gather much truth by searching the fields; you must sink shafts.
What Wikileaks exposed is kind of superficial in a way.
Everything you've said, everything you want to believe is already true. You may not find some of it for a while, and some of it might take longer than that, but that doesn't stop it from being true this minute!
