“Whatever you want to create: imagine it. Realize it. Perfect it. Define it.”

“Imagine a society of saints, a perfect cloister of exemplary individuals. Crimes, properly so called, will there be unknown; but faults which appear venial to the layman will create there the same scandal that the ordinary offense does in ordinary consciousnesses. If, then, this society has the power to judge and punish, it will define these acts as criminal and will treat them as such.”

“A dream? With the mind you imagine it, with the will you realize it.”

“Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.”

“You cannot define anything that is beyond your sight and imagination.”

“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine; and at last you create what you will.”

“My thoughts create things for me, they help me get whatever I want.”

“I imagine that whatever contribution I can make to teaching derives from having had to rethink and re-create my technique.”

“God is not only true and good, he is also beautiful (satyam-shivam-sundaram). He creates beauty – for the joy of it. (…) God does not aim at beauty – whatever he does is beautiful. Would you say that a flower is trying to be beautiful? It is beautiful by its very nature. Similarly God is perfection itself, not an effort at perfection. (…) whatever is perceived blissfully is beautiful. Bliss is the essence of beauty.”

“Society or culture or whatever you might want to call it, has created us all solely and wholly for the purpose of maintaining its continuity and status quo.”
