Meetings with Remarkable Men

G.I. Gurdjieff:
My father says one thing: if you want to lose your faith, make friends with a priest.

Yelov:
What are you looking for?

G.I. Gurdjieff:
I want to know why I am here.

Young Gurdjieff:
When we die, Father, is nothing left?

Gurdjieff's Father:
[after a thoughtful pause] How should I put it? Some people say they have a soul that goes on living when we are dead, but I don't believe this... and yet I am certain beyond all doubt that through certain experiences, we can develop a very fine substance within ourselves. When we die, this substamce does not die at the same time... much later.

Prince Lubovedsky:
I have seen many miracles and tried to explain them, but it has brought me no understanding.
