Oh yes -- the profound truths.(Whereas mine are basically obvious and petty).
Have you read "The Lightness of Being", by Frank Wilczek? (Physics). He makes the point that a shallow statement is either true or false, whereas a profound statement is much richer: it may be true (in some useful senses), while its opposite is also profoundly true.
(Something like that -- I haven't got it quite right.)

it may have been someone paraphrasing him though. but it's a profound paraphrasing
