"Man is a thinker. He is that what he thinks. When he thinks fire he is fire. When he thinks war, he will create war. Everything depends if his entire imagination will be an entire sun, that is, that he will imagine himself completely that what he wants." ― Paracelsus

"Silence is truth. Silence is bliss. Silence is peace. And hence Silence is the Self." ~ Ramana Maharshi
