- Simply put, some crazy cult?

Langdon looked down.
Somehow... scary.
Katherine slightly mixed up, but in the eyes flashed respect.
- Yes, you're right! Since our thoughts can change the world, it is necessary to carefully monitor what we think. Destructive thoughts no less constructive, and it is always easier to destroy than to build.

Knowledge is power, and right knowledge enables man to work miracles and be like God.

In the world there are mysteries beyond human understanding.

Knowledge is a tool that you can use both good and evil.

All great historical discoveries started with a simple idea, which was contrary to the usual mirooschuschenie.
