"In her heart also there are springing up strange desires. She too is enamoured of heavy winds, and vast panoramas, and green expanses of the sea. She has marked the kingdom of this world, how full it is of wealth, and beauty, and war — a radiant crust, built around the central fires, spinning towards the receding heavens. Men, declaring that she inspires them to it, move joyfully over the surface having the most delightful meetings with other men, happy, not because they are masculine, but because they are alive."- Forster, E. M. (Author). Room with a View. (pg 43-44),  as mentioned in Sarah Williams Lecture Week 6

"So the residents tossed her bucket and rags, her baskets and reed broom, down the stairwell, past the letter boxes through the collapsible gate, and into the alley. Then they tossed out Boori Ma. All were eager to being their search for a real durwan."- Interpreter of Maladies (pg 82)

"While the astronauts, heroes forever, spent mere hours on the moon, I have remained in this new world for nearly thirty years. I know that my achievement is quite ordinary. I am not the only man to seek his fortune far from home, and certainly I am not the first. Still, there are times I am bewildered by each mile I have traveled, each meal I have eaten, each person I have known, each room in which I have slept. As ordinary as it all appears, there are times when it is beyond my imagination."- Interpreter of Maladies (pg 198)

"Every time you walk you are moving through these dimensions. You may be interacting with these dimensions. The consequences are limitless."- Don Middendorf, Lecture Nov. 29

"Living in a family where generosity is bad business; where mediocrity and stupidity hold sway; where meat-eating is a virtue— he is ungenerous, he is stupid, he eats meat."

"But men and women have free will, and therefore are able to make mistakes."- Lost Masters, (pg 164)

"'What is it all about?'" it is no true answer to look only at that part of experience which comes to us through certain sensory organs and reply: 'It is about atoms and chaos; it is about tensors and non-comutative algebra.' Rather, it is about a spirit in which truth has its shrine, whit potentialities of self-fulfillment in its response to beauty and right."-Quantum Questions (pg 190)

"At this time in history, the Greeks were famous throughout the Western world for their brilliant philosophy. But Iamblichus decided that philosophy alone is not enough to lead anyone to enlightenment. He complained that since the spectacular success of some of the more rationally oriented Greek schools, there was too much emphasis on theology, which in Greek means 'talk about God,' and not enough on theurgy, which means 'God work'-actively doing the spiritual practices that actually produce real inner transformation."- Lost Masters, (pg 147)

"We're also told Proclus had a quick temper. He had little patience for stupidity and would flare up at students who failed to meet his high standards. Marinus says his anger would dissipate instantly one his point had been made."-Lost Masters (pg 176)

"Exploring Our Western Heritage."-Lost Masters (pg 209)

“The universe of our experience emanates outwards from this Supreme Reality but is never anything other than consciousness, because the ‘thoughts’ of divinity manifest the ‘things’ we perceive. We and objects around us are in a sense separate from this ocean of consciousness, independent or ‘lesser’ realities and yet we and everything else besides exist in perfect unity in the One.” –Lost Masters, p. 178

"For example, if black holes are as we have speculated them to be, whatever disappears in them reappears somewhere. Is it possible, therefore, that there are black holes in other universes which are sucking matter from those universes into our universe? This is a seriously considered possibility. There are objects that appear to be the reverse of black holes."- Wu Li Masters (pg 208)

"This scene is not science fiction. It is based upon a well-known (to physicists) phenomenon called the Twin Paradox of the special theory of relativity. Part of the paradox is that one twin remains on earth while the other goes on a space voyage and returns younger than his brother."-Wu Li Masters (pg 157)

"An uncle who had dabbled in astrology had advised my mother that I should put a shred of saffron in the hollow of my navel after my bath each day."-Bombay London New York (pg 109)

"The professor came to inquire about Zen. Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself.
'It is overfull. No more will go in!'
'Like this cup,' Nan-in said, 'you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?'
Our cup is usually filled to the brim with 'the obvious,' 'common sense,' and 'the self-evident.'"-Wu Li Masters (pg 132)

"we can never understand what events are, but must limit ourselves to describing the patterns of events in mathematical terms; no other aim is possible.


...But the final harvest will always be a sheaf of mathematical formulae. These will never describe nature itself...[Thus] our studies can never put us in contact with reality."-Sir James Jeans, as mentioned in Quantum Questions by Ken Wilber, (p. 6)

"And so, in that orthodox spirit, I would simply as, you of orthodox belief, you who pursue disinterested truth, you who-whether you know it or not- are molding the very face of the future with your scientific knowledge, you who-may I say so?-bow to physics as if it were a religion itself, to you I ask:what does it mean that the founders of your modern science, the the theorists and researchers who pioneered the very concepts you now worship implicitly, the very scientists presented in this volume, what does it mean that they were, every one of them mystics?

...The last thing these theorists would want you to surrender is your critical intellect, your hard-earned skepticism."-Ken Wilber, Quantum Questions, (p. xii of Preface)

"The theory of the ether was that the entire universe lies in  and is permeated by an invisible, tasteless, odorlesss substance that has no properties at all, and exists simply because it has to exist so that light waves can have something to propagate in."-Wu Li, (p. 145)
