"Ships that pass in the night and speak to each other in passing, only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness, so in the ocean of life, we pass and speak to one another, only a look and a voice then darkness again in silence.

Concision in style, precision in thought, decision in life after visualization and thought, character, intelligent flexibility in face of events. One who possesses the secret is able to rise in Art, Science and Knowledge as high as his imagination will carry him.

Mobilization of the world's intellectuals to create a new world.

Life is a short dream worth living only when desire is fullfilled." (Gerasimos Steris, Personal Correspondence, 19 August 1967).
