Your mind is made up of light. We call it the dharmakaya, the clear light of reality. The transcendental eternal light is everywhere. It's the light of god or whatever you want to call it.

Frederick Lenz

Look at what trance means. It means to transcend... it means to become transcendental! So if we get a singular transcendental path of light, that could lead to such great dimensions of consciousness, of revelation, of spirituality, of spiritual power.

Alice Coltrane

Purity is light. Not just an ordinary light, but a transcendental light.

Frederick Lenz

Who is that is dreaming all of this? Ecstasy, pure ecstasy, joy beyond understanding, bliss beyond the dry dullness of the mind's philosophical ranging, light beyond any light in this world - The substance and the essence of all existence is this light, the transcendental light.

Frederick Lenz

The Family is the salt of the earth and the light of the world, it is the leaven of society.

Pope Francis

Anarchism, the great leaven of thought, is today permeating every phase of human endeavor.... It is the philosophy of the sovereignty of the individual. It is the theory of social harmony. It is the great, surging, living truth that is reconstructing the world, and that will usher in the Dawn.

Emma Goldman

Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.

C. S. Lewis

Philosophy would render us entirely Pyrrhonian, were not nature too strong for it.

David Hume

I feel like I don't really have a sense of humor... I don't know if I could characterize it dark or light. I just - I do like humor.

Sandra Oh

What we get, we members of the Church, compared with the total mass that is distributed, is almost microscopic, but the spirit in which we might take it, the spirit in which we might spend it, is the leaven that might leaven the whole lump. Let us be patriotic; let us love the government under which we live.

J. Reuben Clark
