QUOTES

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Love is the most powerful and still most unknown energy in the world.

In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.

It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.

Love alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill them... for it alone joins them by what is deepest in themselves. All we need is to imagine our ability to love developing until it embraces the totality of men and the earth.

Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.

The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one's self to others.

The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.
