“A mystic sees beyond the illusion of separateness into the intricate web of life in which all things are expressions of a single Whole. You can call this web "God, the Tao, the Great Spirit, the Infinite Mystery, Mother or Father," but it can be known only as love.” WholeSpiritMotherFatherKnownMysteryExpressionIllusionAll ThingsInfiniteTaoMysticIntricateInterdependenceGreat SpiritSeparatenessWeb Of Life Author:Joan Z.

“All things that are living are expression and therefore part of the inherent symbology of life. Art, therefore, that is encumbered with excessive symbolism is extraneous, and from my point of view, useless art. Anyone who understands life needs no handbook of poetry or philosophy to tell him what it is.” NeedsArtPhilosophyViewsExpressionAll ThingsPoint Of ViewUselessInherentSymbolism Book:Adventures in the Arts Source: Adventures in the Arts
“The eyelids confess, and reject, and refuse to reject. They have expressed all things ever since man was man. And they express so much by seeming to hide or to reveal that which indeed expresses nothing. For there is no message from the eye. It has direction, it moves, in the service of the sense of sight; it receives the messages of the world. But expression is outward, and the eye has it not. There are no windows of the soul, there are only curtains.” MenWorldSoulEyeMovingExpressionMessagesAll ThingsWindowSightRefuseRejectsCurtainsSeemingEyelids Author:Alice Meynell
“Many of the finest and most interesting emotions perish forever, because too complex and fugitive for expression. Of all things relating to man, his feelings are perhaps the most evanescent, the greater part dying in the moment of their birth. But while emotions perish, thought blended in diction is immortal.” MenMomentsFeelingsInterestingEmotionForeverGreaterDyingExpressionBirthAll ThingsComplexesImmortalFinestMost InterestingFugitiveDiction Author:William Benton Clulow
“Let the children learn to see in nature an expression of the love and the wisdom of God; let the thought of Him be linked with bird and flower and tree; let all things seen become to them the interpreters of the unseen, and all the events of life be a means of divine teaching. As they learn thus to study the lessons in all created things and in all life's experiences, show that the same laws which govern the things of nature and the events of life are to control us, that they are given for our good, and that only in obedience to them can we find true happiness and success.” MeanChildrenShowsLawLife IsGivenStudyTreeTeachingEventsDivineExpressionFlowerLessonsBirdAll ThingsObedienceUnseenLinkedTrue HappinessInterpreterHappiness And Success Author:Ellen G.
