Rudolf Otto quotes
" A child does not notice the greatness and the beauty of nature and the splendor of God in his works. "

Rudolf Otto
" But aesthetics is not religion, and the origins of religion lie somewhere completely different. They lie anyway, these roses smell too sweet and the deep roar of the breaking waves is too splendid, to do justice to such weighty matters now. "

Rudolf Otto
" Down below the broad, roaring waves of the sea break against the deep foundation of the rock. But high above the mountain, the sea, and the peaks of rock the eternal ornamentation blooms silently from the dark depths of the universe. "

Rudolf Otto
" From our balcony we can see the wonderful Bombay Harbor. Right nearby sits the proud Gateway of India, and left of that we see the mountainous island of Elephanta. "

Rudolf Otto
" Heavy pillars, carved from the rock, bear the roof. Slowly, one's eyes become accustomed to the dim light; then they can make out marvelous representations from Indian mythology carved on the walls. "

Rudolf Otto
" The middle head looks straight ahead, silent and powerful; the other two heads are shown in profile. The stillness and the majesty of the image is complete. It portrays Siva as the creator, the preserver, and the destroyer of the world, and at the same time as the savior and bestower of blessings. "

Rudolf Otto
" To see this place would truly be worth a trip to India in itself, and from the spirit of the religion that lived here one can learn more in an hour of viewing than from all the books ever written. "

Rudolf Otto
" We went there three days ago. Visitors climb halfway up the mountain on magnificent stone steps, until on the right side a broaddoor opens in the volcanic rock. It leads into one of the biggest cave-temples of ancient India. "
