- Enneagrammatic Circuit
From the inner being, through sight, sound, touch, and feeling are manifested the path, windows, and doors to the unknown, which always lead back to the inner being.
Thomas More
- Utopia
"For things will never be perfect, until human beings are perfect - which I don't expect them to be for quite a number of years!" What a wonderful quote. Just sit back and absorb the contents.
Frank Close
- The Void
We have not been created out of nothing but from primeval 'ur-matter', atoms formed billions of years ago that have for a brief while been gathered into collections that think they are us.
Aldo Leopond
- Thinking Like a Mountain
I now suspect that just as a deer herd lives in mortal fear of its wolves, so does a mountain live in mortal fear of its deer. And perhaps with better cause, for while a buck pulled down by wolves can be replaced in two or three years, a range pulled down by too many deer may fail of replacement in as many decades.

- Tawhid and Science
It is a meaningful thing for a scientist of the stature of Ibn Sina, certainly one of the best scientific minds in the whole history of mankind, to often resort to prayer to seek God's help in solving his philosophical and scientific problems. And it is also perfectly understandable why the purification of the soul is considered an integral part of the methodology of knowledge.
T.H. White
- The Once and Future King
Perhaps we may assume that Jesus knew as much as the Austrian did about saving people. But the odd thing is that Jesus did not turn the disciples into storm troopers, burn down the Temple at Jerusalem, and fix the blame of Pontius Pilate. On the contrary, he made it clear that the business of the philosopher was to make ideas available, and not to impose them on people.
