  • Being around some of the bright lights of the technology world and having them expect great things helps you sit down and do it seriously.

  • Reflection is the lamp of the heart. If it departs, the heart will have no light.

  • The purely righteous do not complain of the dark, but increase the light; they do not complain of evil, but increase justice; they do not complain of heresy, but increase faith; they do not complain of ignorance, but increase wisdom.

  • When the spirit shines, even foggy skies make pleasant light.

  • Clear moments are so short. There is much more darkness. More ocean than terra firma. More shadow than form.

  • To sacrifice the moral to the physical, as is done in these days, is to sacrifice reality for a shadow.

  • Remember you don't do anything in isolation.

  • We must remember that knowledge of one’s own deep nature is also simultaneously knowledge of human nature in general.
