Paulo Coelho
“The gesture is the incarnation of the verb; that is, an action is a thought made manifest.”
Paulo Coelho, The Archer

Paramahansa Yogananda
“To love both the invisible God, Repository of All Virtues, and visible man, apparently possessed of none, is often baffling! But ingenuity is equal to the maze. Inner research soon exposes a unity in all human minds−the stalwart kinship of selfish motive. In one sense at least, the brotherhood of man stands revealed. An aghast humility follows this leveling discovery. It ripens into compassion for one's fellows, blind to the healing potencies of the soul awaiting exploration.”
Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi

Paramahansa Yogananda
“I have long exercised an honest introspection, the exquisitely painful approach to wisdom. Self−scrutiny,
relentless observance of one's thoughts, is a stark and shattering experience. It pulverizes the stoutest ego. But true self−analysis mathematically operates to produce seers. The way of 'self−expression,' individual
acknowledgements, results in egotists, sure of the right to their private interpretations of God and the universe. Truth humbly retires, no doubt, before such arrogant originality.”
Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi

Annie Dillard
“Like any fine artist, he controlled the tension of the audience’s longing. You desired, unwittingly, a certain kind of roll or climb, or a return to a certain portion of the air, and he fulfilled your hope slantingly, like a poet, or evaded it until you thought you would burst, and then fulfilled it surprisingly, so you gasped and cried out.”
Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

Paramahansa Yogananda
“India, materially poor for the last two centuries, yet has an inexhaustible fund of divine wealth; spiritual
“skyscrapers” may occasionally be encountered by the wayside, even by worldly men like this policeman.”
Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi
