"Everything that we know is within our..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“We are bound to earth by desire and also to God, heaven, and the angels. A slave is a slave whether to man, to God, or to angels.”

“Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.”

“Every time you think of doing some charity, you think there is some beggar to take your charity. If you say, "O Lord, let the world be full of charitable people!" - you mean, let the world be full of beggars also. Let the world be full of good works - let the world be full of misery. This is out-and-out slavishness!”

“Unless thought is valid we have no reason to believe in the real universe.”

“All things are nourished together without their injuring one another. The courses of the seasons, and of the sun and moon, are pursued without any collision among them. The smaller energies are like river currents; the greater energies are seen in mighty transformations. It is this which makes heaven and earth so great.”

“If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.”

“Mr. Knightley, if I have not spoken, it is because I am afraid I will awaken myself from this dream.”

“By the truth we are undone. Life is a dream. 'Tis the waking that kills us. He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.”

“Truth is stranger than fiction-to some people, but I am measurably familiar with it.”
