For everything sacred has the substance of dreams and memories, and so we experience the miracle of what is separated from us by time or distance suddenly being made tangible.

Yukio Mishima
About This Quote

When we think about what is sacred, we think of all the important things in our lives. Things like our religions, our family members and friends, and our country. It is when we think about these things that we experience miracles and see them in a new light. The miracle comes from the fact that these things that we see as sacred are really just pieces of our minds and memories. When we remember them they come back to us in a way that we could not imagine.
