Nisargadatta Maharaj
“The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love.”
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Thérèse of Lisieux
“The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily
do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm.
If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.”
St. Therese of Lisieux

Thérèse of Lisieux
“The world's thy ship and not thy home.”
Saint Therese of Lisieux

W.B. Yeats
“My fiftieth year had come and gone,
I sat, a solitary man,
In a crowded London shop,
An open book and empty cup
On the marble table-top.

While on the shop and street I gazed
My body of a sudden blazed;
And twenty minutes more or less
It seemed, so great my happiness,
That I was blessed and could bless.”
W.B. Yeats, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats

Jean Giono
“I have always hated crowds. I like deserts, prisons, and monasteries. I have discovered, too, that there are fewer idiots at 3000 meters above sea level than down below.”
Jean Giono, An Italian Journey
