What the swift mind beholds at every turn.
  - Edna St. Vincent Millay

Whenever you are alone, remind yourself that God has sent everyone else away so
that there is only you and Him.
  - Rumi

perfectly.
  - Douglas Hofstadter

  - Yogi Berra

A lot of people pass through the thinking "I'm a guru" and take enough trips
to understand that no, "I was just a witness. I was just a witness."
  - Terrence McKenna
