"Spirituality is not primarily about values and ethics,……" — Parker J. Palmer
"Spirituality is not primarily about values and ethics, not about exhortations to do right or live well. The spiritual traditions are primarily about reality...an effort to penetrate the illusions of the external world and to name its underlying truth."
