All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

And no one will listen to us until we listen to ourselves.

Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.

Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.
