Heroes:

"A human being who assumes unqualified superiority over us is offensive because human excellence has too many dimensions, some of which are too difficult to estimate in particular cases, for such an assumption to be justified. In the very act of claiming superiority, a man may demonstrate moral or other inferiority." --Charles Hartshorne
"The way out can only be the way through -- forward beyond the rapids. It is in intelligent alliance with the rising tides of matter that we will draw nearer to the Spirit.";--- Teilhard De Chardin
"We're stronger when we wait than when we possess."- Paul Tillich
"Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond" - Hypatia
“The demon that you can swallow gives you it’s power, and the greater life’s pain, the greater life’s reply.” -Joseph Campbell
"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." -Carl Sagan
"When I start thinking of my love for a person, I am in the habit of immediately drawing radii from my love—from my heart, from the tender nucleus of a personal matter—to monstrously remote points of the universe. Something impels me to measure the consciousness of my love against such unimaginable and incalculable things as the behavior of nebulae (whose very remoteness sees a form of insanity), the dreadful pitfalls of eternity, the unknowledgeable beyond the unknown, the helplessness, the cold, the sickening involutions and interpenetrations of space and time." -- Vladimir Nabokov
"Nothing is 'mere'. I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? The vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination stuck on this carousel my little eye can catch one-million-year-old light. A vast pattern of which I am a part... What is the pattern or the meaning or the why? It does not do harm to the mystery to know a little more about it. For far more marvelous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined it. Why do the poets of the present not speak of it? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were a man, but if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent." - Richard Feynman
"If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."- Gospel of Thomas
"The beginning, middle, and end of the birth, growth, and perfection of whatever we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action and reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, and order, there are degrees, succession and vicissitude.- Giordano Bruno
"Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science, the whole history of mankind is nothing but science fiction." - Ray Bradbury
" With love omitted there is truly nothing ahead of us except the forbidding prospect of standardization and enslavement -- the doom of ants and termites. It is through love and within love that we must look for the deepening of our deepest self, with Love as the free and imaginative outpouring of the spirit over all unexplored paths. It links those who love in bonds that unite but do not confound, causing them to discover in their mutual contact an exaltation capable, incomparably more than any arrogance of solitude, of arousing in the heart of their being all that they possess of uniqueness and creative power." - Teilhard De Chardin
“The Sun, with all the planets revolving around it, and depending on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as though it had nothing else in the Universe to do.” -Galileo Galilei quote
