“The dunes are changed by the wind, but the desert never changes. That's the way it will be with our love for each other”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“锘縏he wind sounds like a silver wire,
And from beyond the noon a fire
Is pour'd upon the hills, and nigher
The skies stoop down in their desire;
And, isled in sudden seas of light,
My heart, pierced thro' with fierce delight,
Bursts into blossom in his sight.”
― Alfred Lord Tennyson

“Our Lady said that to alter the Liturgy would be suicide for the Church.”

“What鈥檚 the mission at hand? To save the Church? To save the pope? Uncover a menacing secret society within the Church? Eliminate the would-be assassins? Or could it be something else, something even more portentous and earth-shattering?”
― Peter J. Tanous

“Calvi was sobbing. This couldn't be! A moment ago the Pope was healthy, smiling. How could His Holiness be no longer? Only a month into his papacy!”
― Peter J. Tanous, The Secret of Fatima

“The pope was lying fully stretched out on the floor, his body half-obscured by Cardinal Villot, who was leaning over him. Calvi's heart jumped into his throat. The pontiff 's eyes were shut, his face distorted in pain. He wasn't breathing. He was life-less, drained of color.”

“Lord, I'll embrace whatever it is you want me to do, but please, please let me know what it is." - Father Kevin Thrall.”

“The roles of Muhammad's daughter Fatima and Mary are similar. The true line of the Prophet 'Isa (Jesus) and his real teaching passing through Mary and into Europe mirrors the true line of the Imams (who propagated the real teachings of the Prophet Muhammad) who issued from the womb of Fatima. Fatima is regarded by some S没f卯s and theologians as the first spiritual head (qutb) of the S没f卯 fellowship.”
― Laurence Galian, Jesus, Muhammad and the Goddess

“Esoterically, if it were not for Fatima (Mercy), All芒h would never have sent Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and the Qur'an to humanity.”
― Laurence Galian, Jesus, Muhammad and the Goddess

“The night is the exemplification of our sovereign Fatima, especially the "Night of Destiny" (laylat al-Qadr).”
― Laurence Galian, Jesus, Muhammad and the Goddess

“Lady Fatima was chosen from all women to be the Mother source of Muhammad's lineage, the core of the generation of Muhammad. Through her, the progeny of the Prophet multiplies - through a woman.”
― Laurence Galian, Jesus, Muhammad and the Goddess

“Shi'as revere the person of Fatima, for she is the mother of the line of inspired Imams who embodied the divine truth for their generation. As such, Fatima is directly associated with Sophia, the divine wisdom, which gives birth to all knowledge of God. She has thus become another symbolic equivalent of the Great Mother.”
― Laurence Galian, Jesus, Muhammad and the Goddess

“According to the traditions of the Ahlul Bayt, Fatima's Mushaf is not a Qur'an, but most definitely a revelation by All芒h, to the Mistress of Women and Daughter of the Master of Prophets, just as He chose to make revelations to Moses' mother.”
― Laurence Galian, Jesus, Muhammad and the Goddess

“The authority given to the Pope and to the bishops is not a power to confine the Gospel, but to preach the Gospel.”

“For a scientist, the only valid question is to decide whether the phenomenon can be studied by itself, or whether it is an instance of a deeper problem. This book attempts to illustrate, and only to illustrate, the latter approach. And my conclusion is that, through the UFO phenomenon, we have the unique opportunities to observe folklore in the making and to gather scientific material at the deepest source of human imagination. We will be the object of much contempt by future students of our civilization if we allow this material to be lost, for "tradition is a meteor which, once it falls, cannot be rekindled."

If we decide to avoid extreme speculation, but make certain basic observations from the existing data, five principal facts stand out rather clearly from our analysis so far:

Fact 1. There has been among the public, in all countries, since the middle of 1946, an extremely active generation of colorful rumors. They center on a considerable number of observations of unknown machines close to the ground in rural areas, the physical traces left by these machines, and their various effects on humans and animals.

Fact 2. When the underlying archetypes are extracted from these rumors, the extraterrestrial myth is seen to coincide to a remarkable degree with the fairy-faith of Celtic countries, the observations of the scholars of past ages, and the widespread belief among all peoples concerning entities whose physical and psychological description place them in the same category as the present-day ufonauts.

Fact 3. The entities human witnesses report to have seen, heard, and touched fall into various biological types. Among them are beings of giant stature, men indistinguishable from us, winged creatures, and various types of monsters. Most of the so-called pilots, however, are dwarfs and form two main groups: (1) dark, hairy beings 鈥� identical to the gnomes of medieval theory 鈥� with small, bright eyes and deep, rugged, "old" voices; and (2) beings 鈥� who answer the description of the sylphs of the Middle Ages or the elves of the fairy-faith 鈥� with human complexions, oversized heads, and silvery voices. All the beings have been described with and without breathing apparatus.
Beings of various categories have been reported together. The overwhelming majority are humanoid.

Fact 4. The entities' reported behavior is as consistently absurd as the appearance of their craft is ludicrous. In numerous instances of verbal communications with them, their assertions have been systematically misleading. This is true for all cases on record, from encounters with the Gentry in the British Isles to conversations with airship engineers during the 1897 Midwest flap and discussions with the alleged Martians in Europe, North and South America, and elsewhere. This absurd behavior has had the effect of keeping professional scientists away from the area where that activity was taking place. It has also served to give the saucer myth its religious and mystical overtones.

Fact 5. The mechanism of the apparitions, in legendary, historical, and modern times, is standard and follows the model of religious miracles. Several cases, which bear the official stamp of the Catholic Church (such as those in Fatima and Guadalupe), are in fact 鈥� if one applies the deffinitions strictly 鈥� nothing more than UFO phenomena where the entity has delivered a message having to do with religious beliefs rather than with space or engineering.”

“If one notices the carefully crafted ambiguates in Council documents that served as footholds for a surprising variety of novelties. It becomes apparent that each ambiguity tends to dissolve a doctrine unique to Catholicism by favoring an interpretive designed either to attract or flatter non-believers. This recurring feature makes Vatican II unique among all Ecumenical Councils in the 2,000 year history of the Church. Consequently, Vatican II may properly be called an "occult" Council, in the sense that the documents contained "secret knowledge" implanted by initiates, that would be exploited after the Council.

It is even possible that the un-Catholic conciliar novelties are part of the apostasy in the Church that almost certainly is mentioned in the Third Secret.”
― Mark Fellows, Fatima in Twilight

“Perhaps there could be further discussion on how pathetic it is that the highest office in the Church, the one charged with safeguarding our faith, dares to issue a document like The Message of Fatima with a straight face. It is a measure of their desperate plight, and the importance of Lucy. They have silenced her, and it is her silence that now condemns them. We know she has corresponded with the present Holy Father, and had several face-to-face meetings with John Paul. Yet after all the letters and meetings, John Paul has never been able to claim that Lucy told him Russia had been consecrated to the Immaculate Heart. The most logical reason for the Pope's silence is that Lucy has dared to tell him that he in fact has not consecrated Russia according to the wishes of Heaven.”
― Mark Fellows, Fatima in Twilight

“When the Blessed Virgin spoke to Lucy of Russia's conversion, She was not referring to a political conversion from Communism to democracy and capitalism. To save souls, "God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart," the Virgin told Lucy. Conversion, as understood in the real Message of Fatima, involved a radical return by Russia - as a nation - to the one religion that venerates the Mother of God in a way that is truly pleasing to God - the One True Faith preserved and transmitted by the Holy Roman Catholic Church.”
― Mark Fellows, Fatima in Twilight

“The facts related in this book will convince many open-minded non-Catholics that the authenticity of Fatima is at least possible. If this can be said of outsiders, how much more convincing should the story be for Catholics? And yet, even as the story moves unbelievers towards belief, it seems to have the opposite effect on certain Vatican officials. Ironically, some of the people now least likely to believe in Fatima are among those who should be the most likely. Beliefs once central to the Catholic faith are now being abandoned not by the faithful who remain in the pews, but by some of the highest authorities in the Church. (page ix)”
