Another old Indian favourite of mine is "not that, not that". It shows that any attempt to comprehend divinity was bound to be tainted by the ego, therefore unreal. The real divinity (or whatever term you choose) is ineffable and you'll never have a hope of truly understanding. Which is definitely not to say you shouldn't strive; quite the opposite.

I've alwasy liked the Terance Mckenna quote, it gives hope but in a subtle way he's driving aat the same thing weh you get further into his work :-
"If the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed."
- Terence McKenna
