"When the human race learns to read the language of symbolism, a great veil will fall from the eyes of men." - Manly P. Hall
"If we have hidden aught from thee, thou son of science, be not surprised; for we have not hidden it especially from thee, but have made use of a language which will hide the truth from the wicked in order that men who are unjust and ignoble may not understand it. But thou, son of Truth, seek and thou wilt find the gift, the most precious of all.” — Giambattista della Porta, quoting the Arabian alchemist Geber
