The reader is nowhere raised into and sustained in a higher, purer, or rarer region of thought than in the Bhagvat-Geeta.... It is unquestionably one of the noblest and most sacred scriptures which have come down to us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Man is neither angel nor beast, and the unfortunate thing is that he who would play the angel plays the beast.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“We are merely the stars’ tennis-balls, struck and bandied
Which way please them.”
—John Webster (1580–1625)
