Plotinus quotes - page 2
Nature is but an image of wisdom, the last thing of the soul; nature being a thing which doth only do, but not know.
Plotinus
Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
Plotinus
Wherever it lies, under earth or over earth, the body will always rot.
Plotinus
A dogma recognized throughout antiquity... (that) the soul expiates its sins in the darkness of the infernal regions and... afterwards... passes into new bodies, there to undergo new trials.
Plotinus
The world is knowable, harmonious, and good.
Plotinus
Pleasure and distress, fear and courage, desire and aversion, where have these affections and experiences their seat?Clearly, either in the Soul alone, or in the Soul as employing the body, or in some third entity deriving from both. And for this third entity, again, there are two possible modes: it might be either a blend or a distinct form due to the blending.
Plotinus
If someone with the right conduct tries to attain to something that lies outside of it, is his goal not the right conduct.
