Quote by Richard Francis Burton

All Faith is false, all Faith is true: Truth is the shattered mirror strown In myriad bits; while each believes his little bit the whole to own.

All Faith is false, all Faith is true: Truth is the shattere

Summary

This quote suggests that faith, regardless of belief systems or religions, can be both false and true simultaneously. It metaphorically defines truth as a broken mirror scattered into countless fragments, with each person perceiving their own shard as the complete truth. It implies that everyone's faith, in their own perspective, appears authentic to them, yet none possess the entirety of truth. The quote highlights the subjectivity of faith and the idea that truth could potentially be a collective assemblage of all these individual beliefs.

I had very supportive parents that made the way for me, even at a time when there were very few women - no women, really maybe two or three women - and very few, fewer than that, African-American women heading in this direction, so there were very few people to look up to.

You were born together, and together you shall be for evermo

You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore...But let there be spaces in your togetherness...Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not of the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
