"The biggest lie promoted by various social institutions- and this in some ways plays into our human nature & our laziness- is that we're here to be happy all the time…the truth is that our finest moments, more often than not, occur precisely when we are uncomfortable, when we're not feeling happy or fulfilled, when we're struggling and searching."                            
-M. Scott Peck

“Some of us will go through quite extraordinary lengths to avoid our problems and the suffering they cause, proceeding far afield from all that is clearly good and sensible in order to try to find an easy way out, building the most elaborate fantasies in which to live, sometime to the total exclusion of reality.”
–M. Scott Peck

“Man is a seeker. He dwells amid shadows and seeks for light.”
-Sri Ananda Archarya

“A crystal’s life is, in itself, a powerful representation of human evolution; from a state of passive original carbon, it undergoes multiple transmutations and evolves into a radioactive product; a living incandescence in earth’s igneous womb.”
