Quotes

  • "If it is, then the sooner they give up the pretence of playing with public affairs and return to private life the better. If they cannot make a job of the House of Commons, let them at least make something of their own houses. If they cannot learn to save men from the destruction which incurable male mischievousness bids fair to bring upon them, let women at least learn to feed them, before they destroy themselves."
  • The civilizations of the East are very old; their roots stretch back into the past to a time when Europe was still a cockpit of fighting savages.
  • The thought of the Upanishads is bold and free, and their general conclusion is that mystical experience is the pathway to reality.
