“It is true, mountains everywhere are mountains, water everywhere is water, sky everywhere is sky, and men everywhere are men. But nevertheless, if seated before the Alps, you attempt to picture the Himalayas, something inexplicable but convincing will be lacking.”
Nicholas Roerich, Heart of Asia

“Кого можно назвать самым смелым? Пожалуй, крохотную бабочку, которая подвергается тем же атмосферным условиям, как и лев.”
Nicholas Roerich, Agni-Yoga

“Не много стоят люди, не могущие отличить ласточку от коршуна! Но что заслуживают те, кто, ощипывая орла, думаю приготовить из него кривобокую утку!”
Nicholas Roerich, Agni-Yoga
