Quotes

“The evolution of the New Era rests on the cornerstone of Knowledge and Beauty.”
“Into the New World my first message. You who gave the Ashram, And you who gave two lives, Proclaim. Builders and warriors, strengthen the steps. Reader, if you have not grasped — read again, after a while. The predestined is not accidental, The leaves fall in their time. And winter is but the harbinger of spring. All is revealed; all is attainable. I will cover you with My shield, if you but tend to your labors. I have spoken.”
“I am — your Bliss I am — your Smile I am — your Joy I am — your Rest I am — your Strength I am — your Valor I am — your Wisdom”
“You and We — here together in spirit. One Temple for all — for all, One God. Manifold worlds dwell in the Abode of the Almighty, And the Holy Spirit soars throughout. The Renovation of the World will come — the prophecies will be fulfilled. People will arise and build a New Temple.”
“One must manifest discipline of spirit; without it one cannot become free. To the slave discipline of spirit will be a prison; to the liberated one it will be a wondrous healing garden. So long as the discipline of spirit is as fetters the doors are closed, for in fetters one cannot ascend the steps. One may understand the discipline of spirit as wings. Whosoever will comprehend the discipline of spirit as illumination of the future worlds is already prepared.”
“Cease speaking of enemies when an achievement can kindle a great light. Solitude will transmit the message better than the murmurs of crowds.”

Encyclopedic overview

Nikolai Konstantinovich Rerikh (Russian: Николай Константинович Рерих), better known as Nicholas Roerich (/ˈrɛrɪk/; October 9, 1874 – December 13, 1947), was a Russian polymath, painter, writer, archaeologist, theosophist, philosopher, and public figure. He is best known for his prolific body of artwork, which spans over 7,000 paintings, and his contributions to a wide array of cultural, political, intellectual, and artistic movements and causes.

Born in Saint Petersburg to a Baltic German father and Russian mother, Roerich had a privileged upbringing that exposed him to many artists, intellectuals, and scientists. In his youth he displayed a natural curiosity and aptitude for various activities and subjects ranging from drawing to botany. Trained as an artist and lawyer, his main interests were literature, philosophy, archaeology, spiritual practice, and esotericism. An avid music enthusiast, he also found success in set design, most notably for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and for the 1913 premiere of Igor Stravinsky’s early Modernist ballet The Rite of Spring.
