I love the following quote on your website, but a philosophy professor doubts its authenticity. What is your original source for it?"I warn you, whoever you are...Oh, you who wish to probe the arcanes of nature, if you do not find within yourself that which you seek, neither shall you be able to find it outside.If you ignore the excellencies of your own house, how do you intend to find other excellencies?In you is hidden the treasure of treasures.Oh, man, know thyself and thou shall know the Universe and the Gods!"

Phrase inscribed in the ancient Temple of Delphi.
