Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don’t confuse the teacher with the lesson, the ritual with the ecstasy, the transmitter of the symbol with the symbol itself.
God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Magic exists. Who can doubt it, when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of the wind and the silence of the stars? Anyone who has loved has been touched by magic. It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live.
-Nora Roberts
Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
