• It is characteristic of spontaneous friendship to take on first, without enquiry and almost at first sight, the unseen doings and unspoken sentiments of our friends; the parts known give us evidence enough that the unknown parts cannot be much amiss.

  George Santayana

  Friendship, Sight, Giving

• When we think how narrow and devious this path of nature is, how dimly we can trace it, for all our lamps of science, and how from the darkness which girds it round great and terrible possibilities loom ever shadowly upwards, it is a bold and a confident man who will put a limit to the strange by-oaths into which the human spirit may wander.

• Self-Enquiry is not asking you to believe or to trust - it is putting a mirror in front of you and asking you to look. Enquiry is suited to many people in the West, because we are more mental. And it is very direct. So unsparing is its look that nothing can escape.

  Mooji

• In other words, the propositions of philosophy are not factual, but linguistic in character - that is, they do not describe the behaviour of physical, or even mental, objects; they express definitions, or the formal consequences of definitions. Accordingly we may say that philosophy is a department of logic. For we will see that the characteristic mark of a purely logical enquiry, is that it is concerned with the formal consequences of our definitions and not with questions of empirical fact.

  A.J. Ayer

• We call that fire of the black thunder-cloud "electricity," and lecture learnedly about it, and grind the like of it out of glass and silk: but what is it? What made it? Whence comes it? Whither goes it?

• The simplest aspect of self-enquiry is to just hold onto the sense I AM, the sense of Being. Keep the sense of "I" or "I AM" by itself. Everyone can do this exercise - it brings immediate results.

  Mooji

• I am the most travelled of all my contemporaries; I have extended my field of enquiry wider than anybody else, I have seen more countries and climes, and have heard more speeches of learned men. No one has surpassed me in the composition of lines, according to demonstration, not even the Egyptian knotters of ropes, or geometers.

• If a specific question has meaning, it must be possible to find operations by which an answer may be given to it ... I believe that many of the questions asked about social and philosophical subjects will be found to be meaningless when examined from the point of view of operations.

• Stalin experimentaba con la telepatía en los años 30. Winston Churchill tenía una oficina paranormal, intentando que la gente viajara fuera de sus cuerpos y viera detrás de las líneas enemigas en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y el Pentágono... Los Expedientes X se basan en un departamento real del Pentágono, que sigue ahí ahora. Casi todos los gobiernos, probablemente tan atrás en el tiempo como podemos ir, tiene uno. Y la policía a menudo - y cuando digo a menudo, quiero decir a menudo - acuden a los médiums si todo lo demás falla en la investigación.

• Las ramas de las matemáticas son tan variadas como las ciencias a las que pertenecen, y cada tema de investigación física tiene sus matemáticas apropiadas. A cada forma de manifestación material corresponde una forma de pensamiento humano, de modo que la mente humana es tan amplia en su gama de pensamientos como el universo físico en el que piensa.

• I grew up in a Jewish family, and we have raised our children in a Jewish tradition. Religion gives a framework for moral enquiry in young minds and points us to questions beyond the material.

• Let us enquire. Who, then, shall challenge the words? Why are they challenged. And by whom? By those who call themselves the guardians of morality, and who are the constituted guardians of religion. Enquiry, it seems, suits not them. They have drawn the line, beyond which human reason shall not pass -- above which human virtue shall not aspire! All that is without their faith or above their rule, is immorality, is atheism, is -- I know not what.

• The human understanding is unquiet; it cannot stop or rest, and still presses onward, but in vain. Therefore it is that we cannot conceive of any end or limit to the world, but always as of necessity it occurs to us that there is something beyond... But he is no less an unskilled and shallow philosopher who seeks causes of that which is most general, than he who in things subordinate and subaltern omits to do so

• In science, self-satisfaction is death. Personal self-satisfaction is the death of the scientist. Collective self-satisfaction is the death of the research. It is restlessness, anxiety, dissatisfaction, agony of mind that nourish science.

• If you walk along the street you will encounter a number of scientific problems. Of these, about 80 per cent are insoluble, while 19½ per cent are trivial. There is then perhaps half a per cent where skill, persistence, courage, creativity and originality can make a difference. It is always the task of the academic to swim in that half a per cent, asking the questions through which some progress can be made.

  Hermann Bondi

• Centrarse únicamente en el significado de las palabras y las frases tiene algo de miope y atrofiado. Y esta miopía es especialmente desafortunada cuando se combina con una visión bastante abstracta de una lengua como un conjunto de elementos y reglas para combinarlos. El resultado es divorciar la investigación del significado de la atención al modo en que las palabras -y los gestos, las expresiones faciales, los rituales, etc.- se insertan en las prácticas, en lo que Wittgenstein denominó "la corriente de la vida".
