„Do you realize sufficiently what it means to rule—to rule in a secret society? Not only over the lesser or more important of the populace, but over the best of men, over men of all ranks, nations, and religions, to rule without external force, to unite them indissolubly, to breathe one spirit and soul into them, men distributed over all parts of the world?“

„If there is no joy, ease, or lightness in what you are doing, it does not necessarily mean that you need to change what you are doing.

— Eckhart Tolle
„There is nothing more to be said or to be done tonight, so hand me over my violin and let us try to forget for half an hour the miserable weather and the still more miserable ways of our fellowmen.“
— Arthur Conan Doyle
