Pure Awareness

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or awareness:

“What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine?
The wealthy of seas, the spoils of war?—
They sought a faith’s pure shrine!

Ay, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod;
They have left unstained what there they found,—
Freedom to worship God.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)

“Humility has its origin in an awareness of unworthiness, and sometimes too in a dazzled awareness of saintliness.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
