Wikiquote quote of the day:
Those who really desire to understand, who are looking to find
that which is eternal, without beginning and without an end, will walk
together with a greater intensity, will be a danger to everything that
is unessential, to unrealities, to shadows. And they will concentrate,
they will become the flame, because they understand. Such a body we must
create, and that is my purpose. Because of that real understanding there
will be true friendship. Because of that true friendship — which you
do not seem to know — there will be real cooperation on the part of
each one. And this not because of authority, not because of salvation,
not because of immolation for a cause, but because you really
understand, and hence are capable of living in the eternal.
