"The very best proof of how much writing mattered was the forgeries. Forgery had been an ecclesiastical habit for centuries. ... faking had become a monastic speciality. The monks persisted. They were the archivists, the keepers of records, and they were quite prepared to improve on history to keep the record straight. The more respect for the written word, the more fakes."

"Such forgeries were common enough... So unenviable was the reputation that priests had acquired in this matter that Isaac Newton spent 50 years of his life trying to undo the forgeries that he thought various priests had incorporated into the Bible, to serve their temporal ends.

"Religious art Is the blossom of religious dogma, and is its pictorial exponent. It is no more possible to have a religious art without dogmas, than to have a religious worship without faith. From this faith In a revealed dogma, will spring, with more or less perfection and vigor, every work bearing. In the most remote manner, upon religious events and emotions; and, not from the bare belief, but from the glowing, sanctified inspiration of devout affection, holy desire and adoring faith, have sprung. In every age, those conceptions of heavenly things that appeal to the sympathies of modern as well as of ancient Christendom."

"There have always been women, from the days of the Queen of Sheba, who sought out wisdom, who made great sacrifices, and endured arduous toil to come to a fountain-head of knowledge. This 19th century, these last fifty years, have brought to women, to large numbers of women, opportunities before accessible only to the gifted few. Now these streams flow freely, and women come in throngs. But does the draught quicken them to new life? Culture is more than the acquisition of knowledge. To bear fruit, learning must pass into life. It is the touch of man upon nature that makes art; and as the highest art is a going back to nature, having received it, having been nourished upon it, to return it stamped with man’s impress, so the finest fruit of learning must be personality. The soul is the supreme power always. To enlarge its kingdom, to bring warring elements under its control — this is the supreme task of education. Intellectual knowledge is so much dead matter until it is vitalized by a union with the soul’s wisdom. To foster this union, to provide material for the nourishment of the spirit, to train the mind to appreciate and to choose and govern — these are the great fundamental tasks which lie at the root of all education."

"My Father, if it is Your Will that I should receive thorns again, but already on my heart, and go further down the path of sorrow, then let it be according to Your Will and not according to my desire, and I will continue to glorify Your Name to the best of my ability, in spite of the evil hissing of the puppets and the Antichrist! May the mockers, false witnesses and persecutors of the Accomplishment of Your Will be put to shame and turn to dust! Let Your Glory be, and let Your Kingdom be established on Earth for the salvation and the benefit of the human race, Your children."

"Vissarion’s teachings combine Christian beliefs typical of Russian new religious movements with elements of esotericism and New Age. He asserts that God, the Unifying Principle, creates the universe through an energy known as Qi in China and Prana in India. According to his teachings, the universe operates under the Law of Opportunity, which posits that each living entity primarily acts in its interests, and secondarily for the system as a whole and for others. A key consequence of this principle is the Law of the Boomerang, akin to the principle of karma, which states that individuals will reap what they sow. Vissarion teaches that Earth is a living entity deserving of reverence."

"Bitter Winter: You have written very personally about Vissarion. How would you describe him to someone who has never met him? Katya [Palkina]: I say this after meeting many respected teachers in the East: he is the most whole, luminous, and deeply humane person I have encountered. There is nothing authoritarian or manipulative in him. Nothing of the power‑hungry guru. His wisdom is profoundly practical. It teaches how to build a home, raise children, cultivate the land, and build relationships with love. His teaching is not a religion of the past. It is a guide to the future—a future humanity is desperately searching for."
