  1. “Well, that was the thing with humans. They liked to be around each other and cram themselves three or four in a den if they could, then cram their dens in together as close as house martin nests. Leave a human alone for too long and it would get weird and sad.”
  2. “the solstices of summer and winter are the gates of the gods”
  3. “These are still Ways back to God—the three mārgas—the way of knowledge, the way of love, and the way of action”
  4. Hymns to the Night and Other Selected Writings
  5. “Imagine a sacred wand that has the power to transform existential truths into celestial realities; picture a universal symbol that when gazed upon could raise human consciousness to a higher order of perception”
