Amma, the “Hugging Saint”
Some of my personal favourite quotes about astrology and various other quotes inspired by the love of the stars and universe:
“There is one truth that shines through all of creation. Rivers and mountains, plants and animals, the sun, the moon and the stars, you and I – all are expressions of this one Reality.”
– Amma, “Mother”
“Anyone can be a millionaire, but to become a billionaire you need an astrologer”
– J. P. Morgan
“We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.”
– Carl Gustav Jung
“We need not feel ashamed of flirting with the zodiac. The zodiac is well worth flirting with.”
– D H Lawrence
“The stars in the heavens sing a music, if only we had ears to hear”
– Pythagoras
“I don’t believe in astrology; I’m a Sagittarius and we’re sceptical”
– Arthur C. Clarke
“We are all of us in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars”
– Oscar Wilde
“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings”
– William Shakespeare
“I will look on the stars and look on thee, and read the page of thy destiny”
– Letitia Elizabeth Landon
“Men go to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.”
– St. Augustine
“Three things cannot be long hidden; the sun, the moon and the truth”
– Buddha
“We are merely the stars’ tennis balls, struck and bandied which way please them”
– John Webster Duchess of Malfi
“See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence. We need silence to be able to touch souls”
– Mother Teresa
“Oh the wonderful knowledge to be found in the stars. Even the smallest things are written there… if you had but skill to read”
– Ben Franklin, in Poor Richard’s Almanac
“I have studied the matter. You sir, have not.”
– Sir Isaac Newton in defence of astrology to sceptic, Edmund Halley
“Ah, not to be cut off, not through the slightest partition shut out from the law of the stars. The inner – what is it? If not the intensified sky, hurled through with birds and deep with the winds of homecoming.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke
