Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment
when they are able to breathe forth their love
for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft
whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when
in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God.
?Soren Kierkegaard
Mystics always hope that science
will some day overtake them.
?Booth Tarkington
Mysticism and exaggeration go together.
A mystic must not fear ridicule if he is to
push all the way to the limits
of humility or the limits of delight.
?Milan Kundera
The more mysterious, the more imperfect: that
which is mystically spoken is but half spoken.
?Benjamin Whichcote
All mystics speak the same language,
for they come from the same country.
?Louis Claude de St. Martin
What does mysticism really mean?
It means the way to attain knowledge.
It's close to philosophy, except in
philosophy you go horizontally while
in mysticism you go vertically.
?Elie Wiesel
