Plotinus

Beauty addresses itself chiefly to sight, but there is a beauty for the hearing too, as in certain combinations so words and in all kinds of music; for melodies and cadences are beautiful; and minds that lift themselves above the realm of sense to a higher order are aware of beauty in the conduct of life, in actions, in character, in the pursuits of the intellect; and there is the beauty of the virtues.

Knowledge, if it does not determine action, is dead to us.

The stars are like letters that inscribe themselves at every moment in the sky. Everything in the world is full of signs. All events are coordinated. All things depend on each other. Everything breathes together.

I am striving to give back the Divine in myself to the Divine in the All.

All things are filled full of signs, and it is a wise man who can learn about one thing from another.

The Soul of each one of us is sent, that the universe may be complete.

God is not external to anyone, but is present with all things, though they are ignorant that He is so.

Knowing demands the organ fitted to the object.

You can only apprehend the Infinite by a faculty that is superior to reason.

Fear must be entirely banished. The purified soul will fear nothing.

The soul in its nature loves God and longs to be at one with Him in the noble love of a daughter for a noble father; but coming to human birth and lured by the courtships of this sphere, she takes up with another love, a mortal, leaves her father and falls.

Withdraw into yourself and look.

The world is knowable, harmonious, and good.
