ESOTERIC QUOTES AND ART OF THE DAY - 7/27/17

Here are todays quotes paired with art, because in this busy world, we rarely have time to reflect on the inner, the hidden, and the little known powerful aspects of our human condition.

"The Eyes are the window to your soul"

~ William Shakespeare


"The universities do not teach all things ... so a doctor must seek out old wives, gypsies, sorcerers, wandering tribes, old robbers, and such outlaws and take lessons from them. A doctor must be a traveler . . . Knowledge is experience."

~ Paracelsus


"Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy."

~ Paracelsus


"If reason be a gift of Heaven, and we can say as much of faith, Heaven has certainly made us two gifts not only incompatible, but in direct contradiction to each other. In order to solve the difficulty, we are compelled to say either that faith is a chimera or that reason is useless."

~ Denis Diderot


"The ignorant and the deluded are, I think, in a strange way to be envied. That which is not known of does not trouble us, while an imagined but insubstantial peril does not harm us. To know the truths behind reality is a far greater burden."

~ H. P. Lovecraft


"The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face."

~ William Makepeace Thackeray


"The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight"

~ Joseph Campbell
