QUOTES ON MIRACLES

It is at least scientifically respectable to postulate that at the centre of a black hole the laws of nature no longer apply. Since most scientists are just a bit religious and most religious are seldom wholly unscientific we find humanity in a comical position. His scientific intellect believes in the possibility of miracles inside a black hole while his religious intellect believes in them outside it.

WILLIAM GOLDING, Nobel Lecture, Dec. 7, 1983

Miracles do not happen.

MATTHEW ARNOLD, preface to Literature and Dogma

Can you remember what it was like to walk in the midst of a world of miracles? Can you remember ever traveling within a world of pure delight with a joy untainted by craving or aversion? What happened to that world? All yoga, including the Buddha's yoga, is often called "the path of return" -- a return to our true home, which we eventually come to see was never really lost.

FRANK JUDE BOCCIO, Mindfulness Yoga
