Albert Einstein
“How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of a God and no theology? In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it.”
Albert Einstein, The World As I See It

Heraclitus
“The sun is the width of a human foot.”
Heraclitus, Fragments

Zhuangzi
“The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten the words, so that I can talk to him?”
Chuang Tzu, The Book of Chuang Tzu

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“...and for a moment I thought I loved her. But I am slow-thinking and full of interior rules that act as brakes on my desires”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Rabindranath Tagore
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”
Rabindranath Tagore, Stray Birds
