Irving Babbitt

When it came time to build a tabernacle, the Israelite women brought all their mirrors to Moses so he could use them to make God's building more beautiful. (Exodus 38:8.) They were far more interested in enjoying God's glory than reflecting on their own images.

Love has different shades. Like the way I loved Cassia when I thought she'd never love me. The way I loved her on the Hill. The way I love her now that she came into the canyon for me. It's different. Deeper. I thought I loved her and wanted her before, but as we walk through the canyon together I realize this could be more than a new shade. A whole new color.

Henry Miller

Henry Adams

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.

Lao Tzu

Give all thou canst; high Heaven rejects the lore of nicely-calculated less or more.

William Wordsworth
