I have shown you that the intellect which emanates from God unto us is the link that joins us to God. You have it in your power to strengthen that bond, if you choose to do so, or to weaken it gradually, till it breaks if you prefer this. It will only become strong when you employ it in the love of God, and seek that love.      -Moses Maimonides
 
Theologians may quarrel, but the mystics of the world speak the same language.      -Meister Eckhart

Two things fill my mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily reflection is occupied with them: the starry heaven above me and the moral law within me. – Immanuel Kant
