But on the heights of the Himalayas I have a place where I am determined nothing shall enter except pure truth. There I want to work out this idea about which I have spoken to you today. There are an Englishman and an Englishwoman in charge of the place. The purpose is to train seekers of truth and to bring up children without fear and without superstition. They shall not hear about Christs and Buddhas and Shivas and Vishnus - none of these.
Swami VivekanandaThere is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle.
Swami VivekanandaMan's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.
Swami VivekanandaThis life is a hard fact; work your way through it boldly, though it may be adamantine; no matter, the soul is stronger.
Swami VivekanandaIf you can think that infinite power, infinite knowledge and indomitable energy lie within you, and if you can bring out that power, you also can become like me.
Swami Vivekananda
