“The stars are like letters that inscribe themselves at every moment in the sky.”

God is not external to anyone, but is present with all things, though they are ignorant that He is so.

Knowledge, if it does not determine action, is dead to us.

It is in virtue of unity that beings are beings.

Never did eye see the sun unless it had first become sun-like, and never can the soul have vision of the First Beauty unless itself be beautiful.

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being.

We must not run after it, but we must fit ourselves for the vision and then wait tranquilly for it.

We are not separated from spirit, we are in it.

Now we are become a dual thing, no longer that which we were at first, dormant, and in a sense no longer present.

Withdraw into yourself and look.

Each one of us is part of the soul of the universe

Knowing demands the organ fitted to the object.

Cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labour to make all one glow of beauty and never cease chiselling your statue.

From the Soul using the body as an instrument, it does not follow that the Soul must share the body’s experiences: a man does not himself feel all the experiences of the tools with which he is working.

We may treat of the Soul as in the body – whether it be set above it or actually within it – since the association of the two constitutes the one thing called the living organism, the Animate.Now from this relation.

We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order.

We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.

Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile.

So many people doubted me. They motivated me every single day, to be, who I am.

I pray for you every night. You’ve taught me to feel confident in myself, believe in myself that I can do it when I didn’t think I could do it.

I have my privileges, but I do feel like at every turn there is such resistance.

To the best of my knowledge, every acute inpatient ward offers some inpatient group therapy experience.

I’m a big believer in dreaming. If you don’t dream it, you can’t become it.

The Hulk, Detective Comics, Action Comics, you name it. Seeing those old books got me interested in new comics, so my friends and I would hit the local comic shop every Saturday to pick up the cool titles of my generation.

And if you do the latter, you’re not so worried about the everyday trivialities of life, for example, petty concerns about secrecy or privacy.
