Wherever it lies, under earth or over earth, the body will always rot.

The world is knowable, harmonious, and good.

Each one of us is part of the soul of the universe

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.

The stars are like letters that inscribe themselves at every moment in the sky. Everything in the world is full of signs. All events are coordinated. All things depend on each other. Everything breathes together.

We are not separated from spirit, we are in it.

Beauty is rather a light that plays over the symmetry of things than that symmetry itself.
