Every moment of this strange and lovely life from dawn to dusk, is a miracle. Somewhere, always a rose is opening its petals to the dawn. Somewhere, always, a flower is fading in the dusk.

You are not a spirit trying to escape a body. You are not a prisoner trying to break free from flesh. You are the universe expressing itself as a human being for a brief brilliant moment. And every desire you feel... is the cosmos exploring itself through your form.

It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness. As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
- Seneca the Younger
Unity in trinity, and trinity in unity; neither confounding the person nor dividing the substance. There is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost; but the Godhead of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one.
- Tertullian
