First thing that comes to mind is:

Aleister Crowley said it.  It means we're free.

Answer 2

"I've had dreams, and I've had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares, because of my dreams."

This reminds me that most of the demons of my past are only in the past, and the reason why I didn't stop growing and became the person I am is because I refuse to give up on myself or my life.

Answer 6

"To fall in love is to create a religion with a fallible god" - Jorge Luis Borges

Answer 7

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

That religion is the reason for science and science backs up religion. To me, it more means that we, as believers in God, should know why we believe and be able to back it up with our mind as well as with our heart.

Answer 8

I have so many but I will go with this one since it's relevant to this section.

"How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light." ~ Barry Lopez

This quote came into my life around a time when I was questioning a lot of things including myself. It helped me realize that life and people aren't perfect and it's okay to be imperfect as well. All we can do is our best, live an honorable life, do good and leave the world better off.

Answer 9

What this means to me is all how you interpret it. Each person should shine no matter what, don't hold back.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

-Marianne Williamson

Answer 19

I have many,  this is appropriate for R&S:

Answer 27

For now it is my personal phrase.

The "mind" is just another trick your brain is playing on you.

It means that the idea that the mind or consciousness exists apart from the physical universe is a self induced delusion, there is no mind body problem and the mind can be reduced as a mechanistic physicality and/or its dynamic functions within space-time.
