Jürgen Moltmann
“If I have a theological virtue, it is curiosity or inquisitiveness.”
Jurgen Moltmann

Juan de la Cruz
“...the clearer the light is, the more it blinds and darkens the pupil of the owl; and the more we look at the sun, the greater is the darkness it causes in our vision ... in the same way, when the divine light of contemplation assails the soul that is not wholly enlightened, it causes spiritual darkness within it.”
Saint John of the Cross

Criss Jami
“Question like a child, reason like an adult, and write like a sage.”
Criss Jami, Healology

Frederick Buechner
“More than the painting you see or the music you hear, the words you read become in the very act of reading them part of who you are, especially if they are the words of exceptionally promising writers. If there is poison in the words, you are poisoned; if there is nourishment, you are nourished; if there is beauty, you are made a little more beautiful. In Hebrew, the word dabar means both word and also deed. A word doesn’t merely say something, it does something. It brings something into being.”
Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking: A Seeker's ABC

Abhijit Naskar
“in simple terms, what you perceive as real, is actually a neurological reconstruction or simulation of the actual real thing. It’s not as simple as saying, we see as it is. Actually we do not ever see as it is.”
Abhijit Naskar, Homo: A Brief History of Consciousness
