    Albert Einstein

  • Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent
    Victor Hugo

  • To seek the timeless way we must first know the quality without a name. There is a central quality which is the root criterion of life and spirit in a man, a town, a building, or a wilderness. This quality is objective and precise, but it cannot be named.
    Christopher Alexander

  • The world is like a stream of music, a continuous flow of forces and forms, and therefore, seen from without, it appears to be transient. In its constant passing, it resembles an image of death.

  • 'Resurrection' does not mean an everlasting continuation in a kind of gilded heaven. God is not static. Resurrection signifies a unity experience with this timeless and spaceless ground that we Westerners call "God." Thus, the goal is not immortality but the experience of the timelessness of our true essence, which can manifest in entirely different forms. Resurrection is not something that occurs at the end of our lives; resurrection is the breakthrough in the experience that there is no birth and death, only a change of form.
    Willigis Jaeger

  • In eternity, there is neither time nor space, neither before nor after, but everything present, enclosed in a newly budding 'now'

  • The way in which time is treated in physics is not essentially different from the way in which space is treated… We just have a staticlooking fixed ‘space-time’ in which the events of our universe are laid out.
    Roger Penrose

  • Time and space are not innate aspects of the world, but “categories” created by the human mind
    Immanuel Kant
