Constraints Quote by Avicenna
“God, the supreme being, is neither circumscribed by space, nor touched by time; he cannot be found in a particular direction, and his essence cannot change. The secret conversation is thus entirely spiritual; it is a direct encounter between God and the soul, abstracted from all material constraints.”

![“Pure earth does not petrify, because the predominance of dryness over [i.e. in] the earth endows it not with coherence but rather with crumbliness. In general, stone is formed in two ways only (a) through the hardening of clay, and (b) by the congelation [of waters].” quote by Avicenna](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4b0/avicenna-19211_clay_pure-earth-does-not-petrify-because-the_878916.jpg)
