“I believe, not theoretically, but from direct personal experience, that very few of the things that happen to us are purposeless or accidental (and this includes suffering and grief - even that of others), and that sometimes one catches a glimpse of the link between these happenings. I believe - even when I am myself blind and deaf, or even indifferent - in the existence of a mystery.” BelieveSometimesHappensSufferingI BelieveGriefExistenceMysteryHappeningsDirectBlindLinksIndifferentGlimpseDeafPersonal Experiences Author:Iris Origo
“A religious belief is not a statement about Reality, but a hint, a clue about something that is a mystery, beyond the grasp of human thought. In short, a religious belief is only a finger pointing to the moon. Some religious people never get beyond the study of the finger. Others are engaged in sucking it. Others yet use the finger to gouge their eyes out. These are the bigots whom religion has made blind. Rare indeed is the religionist who is sufficiently detached from the finger to see what it is indicating - these are those who, having gone beyond belief, are taken for blasphemers.” PeopleHumansMadeUseRealityEyeBeliefReligiousGoneStudyTakenMysteryMoonBlindFingersStatementsEngagedCluePointingHintsDetachedReligious BeliefBigotsHuman ThoughtPointing Fingers Author:Anthony de Mello
“An eye is meant to see things. The soul is here for its own joy. A head has one use: For loving a true love. Feet: To chase after. Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind, for learning what men have done and tried to do. Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why. A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.” MenWantMindSoulDoneUseEyeJoyLostLove IsMysteryFeetSkyChangedLoversBlindHis LoveAccusedVanishing Author:Rumi

“There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers' battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain's tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.” PlayThreeHeavenMysteryTerribleBattleThousandRainBlindShiningSnowPoeticTowersFogHostileMistHighlightsSwansSkyscraperTresses Author:Federico Garcia Lorca
“…there would be no powerful will binding hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow creature…And yet she had loved him- sometimes. Often she had not. What did it matter! What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in the face of this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being.” MenBelieveSelfSometimesMatterWould BeFacesPowerfulMysteryCreaturesMen And WomenFellowsBlindPossessionImpulsePersistenceStrongestAssertionBindingUnsolved Mysteries Author:Kate Chopin
