When we practice magic we are always making connections, moving energy, identifying with other forms of being. Magic could be called the applied science that is based on an understanding of how energy makes patterns and patterns direct energy. To put it another way, at its heart is a paradox:

I'm interested in spirituality and in religion and our relationship to the divine.

Giancarlo Esposito

I don't want to clip on the armour every morning. I've seen some politicians do this and they get a bit mangled and bitter. I just refuse to do that. I refuse to be angry or bitter or complain, and I remain open. I may sometimes be a bit too open but I'm not going to change that one bit.

Nick Clegg

The Beatles, Paul, John, George and Ringo have done more for the fall of Communism than any other western institution.

Artemy Troitsky

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.

Buddha

Humans love truth and justice, and rejoice in ceremonies that honor those qualities. For that sentiment we should indeed thank God.

Alfred Day Hershey

Action conquers fear.

Peter Nivio Zarlenga

The question on long term strategy is not if it is successful, but if you are still alive.

Ron De Jonge

There is no respect for others without humility in one's self.

Henri Frederic Amiel

He felt that institutions such as schools, churches, governments and political organizations of every sort all tended to direct thought for ends other than truth, for the perpetuation of their own functions, and for the control of individuals in the service of these functions. He came to see his early failure as a lucky break, an accidental escape from a trap that had been set for him, and he was very trap-wary about institutional truths for the remainder of his time.

Robert M. Pirsig

I loathe the expression What makes him tick. It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.

James Thurber

Ideologies have no heart of their own. They're the whores and angels of our striving selves.

John le Carre

Promise is most given when the least is said.

George Chapman
