Mystical Experiences

Famous quotes containing the words mystical and/or experiences:

“When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with such applause in the lecture room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“Horrible experiences lead us to wonder whether the person who experiences them might not be something horrible.”
