Llewelyn Powys Quotations

No sight that human eyes can look upon is more provocative of awe than is the night sky scattered thick with stars.

A wise man can do no better than to turn from the churches and look up through the airy majesty of the wayside trees with exultation, with resignation, at the unconquerable uncomplicated sun.

The more we study mind and matter scientifically the more we see that all things follow a natural sequence, a sequence as liable to work for our disadvantage as for our advantage. It flows like the water of a river, it falls like rain, it is as impartial as the sea. It is as innocent of malice as it is of compassion.

Without doubt half the ethical rules they din into our ears are designed to keep us at work.

The world is in need of less religion and more common sense.

No sight is more provocative of awe than is the night sky.
