“Self-existence is the attribute of the Supreme Cause, and it constitutes the measure of good by the degree in which it enters into all lower forms. All things real are so by so much virtue as they contain.

Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which animates all whom it floats, and you are without effort impelled to truth, to right and a perfect contentment.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Knowing others is wisdom. Knowing oneself is enlightenment.”
– Lao Tzu

“This above all — to thine own self be true;
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
– William Shakespeare

“The Self alone exists; and the Self alone is real. Verily the Self alone is the world, the I-I and God. All that exists is but the manifestation of the Supreme Being.”
– Ramana Maharshi

“The meaning of our self is not to be found in its separateness from God and others, but in the ceaseless realisation of yoga, of union.”
– Rabindranath Tagore

“Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy – the joy of being Salvador Dalí – and I ask myself in rapture: What wonderful things this Salvador Dalí is going to accomplish today?”
– Salvador Dali
