“I see the only meaning of human existence in the effort to become yourself spiritually, to become different from what you are at birth, in growing. If in that span, between the poles of birth and death, we manage to achieve this, even if it is hard, and the advance is small, we will have served humanity.”

- Andrei Tarkovsky

As above, so below

As within, so without

As the universe, so the soul.

- The Emerald Tablet
