Hypatia

The universe is a reflection of our inner world.

Seek harmony in all things.

Our legacy is not what we leave behind, but how we lived.

The greatest freedom is the freedom of thought.

Life is a journey of discovery.

The human heart is a universe unto itself.

To understand the world, first understand yourself.

The pursuit of truth is a lifelong endeavor.

Find beauty in the ordinary.

Every moment is an opportunity for growth.

We are all seekers of meaning in a vast and wondrous cosmos.

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fancies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only by great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

She was a virgin, and remained so until her death.

She was an object of envy to the Christians, because of her great influence and popularity.
