The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon, #3)

by Dan Brown

We all fear what we do not understand.

Powerful truth has its own gravity and eventually pulls people back to it.

Knowledge is a tool, and like all tools, its impact is in the hands of the user.”

‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’

WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR OURSELVES ALONE DIES WITH US; WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR OTHERS AND THE WORLD REMAINS AND IS IMMORTAL.

TIME IS A RIVER … AND BOOKS ARE BOATS. MANY VOLUMES START DOWN THAT STREAM, ONLY TO BE WRECKED AND LOST BEYOND RECALL IN ITS SANDS. ONLY A FEW, A VERY FEW, ENDURE THE TESTINGS OF TIME AND LIVE TO BLESS THE AGES FOLLOWING.

‘Abandon the search for God … instead, take yourself as the starting place.’

Nothing is hidden that will not be made known; nothing is secret that will not come to light.
