Alan Watts quote: "The source of all light is in the eye."
The source of all light is in the eye. Alan Watts
The ultimate source is probably the tendency in some of us, part of our psychological inheritance from our far-distant ancestors, the tendency to look for extreme solutions, absolute truths, abstract answers. All fanatics and fundamentalists share this tendency, which is so alien and unpleasing to the rest of us. The theory says they must do such-and-such, so they do it, never mind the human consequences, never mind the social cost, never mind the terrible damage to the fabric of everything... Philip Pullman
Henryk Sienkiewicz quote: "But I think happiness springs from another source, a far..."

Sorrow, terror, anguish, despair itself are often the chosen expressions of an approximation to the highest good.

This is the source also of the melancholy which is inseparable from the sweetest melody. The pleasure that is in sorrow is sweeter than the pleasure of pleasure itself. Percy Bysshe Shelley

One's emotions are intensified in Paris—one can be more happy and also more unhappy here than in any other place. But it is always a positive source of joy to live here, and there is nobody so miserable as a Parisian in exile from his town. Nancy Mitford
This pleased Onyango, for to him knowledge was the source of all the white man's power, and he wanted to make sure that his son was as educated as any white man. Barack Obama
Marcus Aurelius quote: "Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which..."
Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look. Marcus Aurelius
Bertrand Russell quote: "To like many people spontaneously and without effort is..."

Albert Einstein quote: "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious...."
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science"- Albert Einstein Albert Einstein
So what I realized when I was a child was that if I were traveling as fast as light while holding a mirror before me, I would not see my image in the mirror, because as fast as the image of my face in light moved toward the mirror, why, just as fast would the mirror be moving away... It is a rather frightening idea, in fact, that if I moved at the speed of light, I could get no confirmation of my existence from an objective source of reflected light such as a mirror. I would be like a ghost... E. L. Doctorow
Upon my word, just see how mortal men always put the blame on us gods! We are the source of evil, so they say - when they have only their own madness to think if their miseries are worse than they ought to be. Homer
