“Nothing can make me falter on the path, once I have started on a journey.walk the path

Do you want to know why? Because some twenty years ago I had lost faith in humanity as individuals, and love it collectively, and work universally instead of working for it individually.

To do so I have my own way. I do not believe any longer in perfection; I do not believe any longer in infallibility, nor in immaculate characters.

Each of us is a piece of charcoal, more or less black and, excuse me,stinking. But there is hardly any piece so vile and dirty that it has not atoms wherein lie the germ of a future diamond. And I keep my eyes fixed on these atoms, and do not see the rest, and do not want to see.

As I work for others and not for myself, I permit myself to use these atoms for the common cause.”

– A letter from H.P. Blavatsky to Emilie de Morsier about herself
