Enlightened Disciple

Famous quotes containing the words enlightened and/or disciple:

    Letter-writing too often degenerates into a communicating of facts, and not of truths; of other men’s deeds and not our thoughts. What are the convulsions of a planet, compared with the emotions of the soul? or the rising of a thousand suns, if that is not enlightened by a ray?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But [Jonas] quickly understood that a disciple was not necessarily someone who wishes to learn something. More often, on the contrary, one became a disciple for the unselfish pleasure of teaching one’s master.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
