Wisdom & Quotes

• The inhabitant of the soul of the universe is never seen; its voice alone is heard. All we know is that it has a gentle voice, like a woman, a voice so fine and gentle that even children cannot become afraid. And what it says is: Sila ersinarsinivdluge - "Be not afraid of the Universe."
• ...The ancients devoted their lives to maintaining the balance of the universe: to great things, immense, [mysterious] things.
