Madeleine L'Engle
“You mean you’re comparing our lives to a sonnet? A strict form, but freedom within it?” “Yes.” Mrs Whatsit said. “You’re given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself. What you say is completely up to you.”
Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time

Umberto Eco
“Hesed is not only the Sefirah of grace and love. As Diotallevi said, it is also the moment of expansion of the divine substance, which spreads out to the edge of infinity.”
Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum

Umberto Eco
“From prohibitions you can tell what people normally do,”
Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum

Umberto Eco
“Mysticism is a degenerate form of contact with the divine, whereas initiation is the fruit of long askesis of mind and heart. Mysticism is a democratic, if not demagogic, phenomenon; initiation is aristocratic.”
Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum

Umberto Eco
“Not that the incredulous person doesn’t believe in anything. It’s just that he doesn’t believe in everything. Or he believes in one thing at a time. He believes a second thing only if it somehow follows from the first thing. He is nearsighted and methodical, avoiding wide horizons. If two things don’t fit, but you believe both of them, thinking that somewhere, hidden, there must be a third thing that connects them, that’s credulity.”
Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum
