Plotinus

God is not external to anyone, but is present with all things, though they are ignorant that he is so.

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

Withdraw into yourself and look.

Mankind is poised midway between the gods and the beasts.

We must close our eyes and invoke a new manner of seeing, a wakefulness that is the birthright of us all, though few put it to use.
