mystical quotes

His name was Shadow, short for ShadowThat Comes in Sight, an old Indian name, Apache or Cheyenne. I very much approved of this.You don't want dogs called Spot or Pooch.You don't want dogs called Nigel or Keith. The names of dogs should salute the mystical drama of the animal life. Shadowthat's a good name.

- Martin Louis Amis

The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mystical. It is the power of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which ourdull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive formsthis knowledge, this feeling, isatthe centerof true religiousness.In thissense, and in this sense only, I belong to the rank of devoutly religious men.
