Sofía Segovia
“Tell them to walk in the shade. To listen with their eyes, to see with their skin, and to feel with their ears, because life speaks to us all and we just need to know and wait to listen to it, see it, feel it.”
Sofía Segovia, The Murmur of Bees

“When I was weak, I was full of fear.
When I was strong, I was full of hope.
When I was a happy, I was full of peace.
When I was a sad, I was full of suffering.

When I was poor, I was full of gratitude.
When I was rich, I was full of longing.
When I was wise, I was full of grace.
When I was foolish, I was full of ignorance.

When I was a child, I was full of joy.
When I was a youth, I was full of laughter.
When I was an adult, I was full of trouble.
When I was an elder, I was full of wisdom.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

When I see thoughts, I see the present.
When I see intentions, I see the future.

When I see regret, I see the past.
When I see hope, I see the present.
When I see expectation, I see the future.

When I see habits, I see the past.
When I see actions, I see the present.
When I see character, I see the future.

When I see karma, I see the past.
When I see chance, I see the present.
When I see destiny, I see the future.

When I see knowledge, I see the past.
When I see understanding, I see the present.
When I see wisdom, I see the future.

When I see elders, I see the past.
When I see adults, I see the present.
When I see children, I see the future.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

G.I. Gurdjieff
“Multiple experiments with spirit contact transmitted the name Matthew Edward Hall on several occasions. I predict this to be a very important future individual in humanities development. Possibly the second embodiment of Christ on Earth.”
G.I. Gurdjieff, Gurdjieff's Early Talks 1914-1931: In Moscow, St. Petersburg, Essentuki, Tiflis, Constantinople, Berlin, Paris, London, Fontainebleau, New York, and Chicago

Agatha Christie
“Shaitana was a man who prided himself on his Mephistophelian attitude to life. He was a man of great vanity. He was also a stupid man-that's why he is dead.”
Agatha Christie, Cards on the Table
