The sword conquered for a while, but the spirit conquers for ever! — Spirit

"Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth Unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep."

"God is Spirit, certainly. It stands written in the fourth chapter of John, verse twenty-four. But let us not oversimplify! If God is spirit, then my soul must be something else; or if my soul is spirit, I must find another name for God. St. John means the same thing, for when he says "spirit," like St. Paul, he has the Holy Spirit in mind. In other words, by comparison with the Holy Spirit, body and soul, matter and spirit, person and thing are all "carnal." Between all these and the living God lies […] the distance between Creator and creature.[…] Before this bottomless ravine, the difference between earthly body and soul shrinks to insignificance."

"Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep. Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man; But will they come when you do call for them?"

"Black spirits and white, Red spirits and grey, Mingle, mingle, mingle, You that mingle may."

"Never the spirit was born; the spirit shall cease to be never; Never was time it was not; End and Beginning are dreams! Birthless and deathless and changeless remaineth the spirit for ever; Death hath not touched it at all, dead though the house of it seems! knoweth it exhaustless, self-sustained, Immortal, indestructible,—shall such Say, "I have killed a man, or caused to kill?" Nay, but as when one layeth His worn-out robes away, And, taking new ones, sayeth, "These will I wear to-day!" So putteth by the spirit Lightly its garb of flesh, And passeth to inherit A residence afresh."

"A wounded spirit who can bear?"
