"The sacred tree, the sacred stone are not……" — Mircea Eliade

"The sacred tree, the sacred stone are not adored as stone or tree; they are worshipped precisely because they are hierophanies, because they show something that is no longer stone or tree but sacred, the ganz andere or 'wholly other.'"

Mircea Eliade
