The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting;
By doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth.
- Pierre Abelard
A man may fulfill the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
God is in me or else is not at all.
- Wallace Stevens
What is troubling us is the tendency to believe that the mind is like a little man within.
- Ludwig Wittgenstein
What is mind?
No matter.
What is matter?
Never mind.
- Bertrand Russel
Lovely snowflakes!
Each one falls in the appropriate place.
- Zen saying
The Self is hidden in the hearts of all, as butter lies hidden in cream.
Realize the Self in the depths of meditation;
The Lord of Love, supreme reality, who is the goal of all knowledge.
This is the highest mystical teaching.
- From the Shveteshvatara Upanishad
Sacred One,
Teach us love, compassion and honor
That we may heal the earth and heal each other.
My words are tied in one with the great mountains, with the great rocks, with the great trees.
In one with my body and my heart.
Do you all help me with supernatural power?
And you day, and you night.
All of you see me, One with the world!
- From a Yokuts prayer
I, God, am in your midst.
Whoever knows me can never fall.
Not in the heights,
nor in the depths,
nor in the breadths.
For I am love, which the vast expanses of evil can never still.
- Hildegard of Bingen
