“Can you keep an open mind? Are you willing to challenge what you know to be true?”
― Sylvain Neuvel, Sleeping Giants

“All a hardliner has to do is to keep the door of his mind open! And then, the light will visit him! Only in light we can see the truths!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“What is always needed in the appreciation of art, or life, is the larger perspective. Connections made, or at least attempted, where none existed before, the straining to encompass in one's glance at the varied world the common thread, the unifying theme through immense diversity, a fearlessness of growth, of search, of looking, that enlarges the private and the public world. And yet, in our particular society, it is the narrowed and narrowing view of life that often wins”
― Alice Walker, In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: Womanist Prose

“A mind that listens with complete attention will never look for a result because it is constantly unfolding; like a river, it is always in movement. Such a mind is totally unconscious of its own activity, in the sense that there is no perpetuation of a self, of a “me,” which is seeking to achieve an end.”
