Huston Smith
  • Rationalism and Newtonian science has lured us into dark woods, but a new metaphysics can rescue us.

  • Every society and religion has rules, for both have moral laws. And the essence of morality consists, as in art, of drawing the line somewhere.

  • Poetry is a special use of language that opens onto the real. The business of the poet is truth telling, which is why in the Celtic tradition no one could be a teacher unless he or she was a poet.
