“Men should take their knowledge from the Sun, the Moon and the Stars.”
“You have seen that the universe is at root a magical illusion and a fabulous game, and that there is no separate "you" to get something out of it, as if life were a bank to be robbed. The only real "you" is the one that comes and goes, manifests and withdraws itself eternally in and as every conscious being. For "you" is the universe looking at itself from billions of points of view, points that come and go so that the vision is forever new.”
“Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.”

“Fire is the most tolerable third party”
“This universe, which is the same for all, has not been made by any god or man, but it always has been, is, and will be an ever-living fire, kindling itself by regular measures and going out by regular measures.”
“We circle in the night and we are devoured by fire.”
