“The night! When the outside world is hiding in darkness, you have to turn on the light within in order to see where you put your steps.”

“Look at these cliffs! Some are abrupt and unpredictable. Some other are soft and with smooth slopes. Yet, they all have the same purpose: either to lure you and bring you down or to teach you how to stand up, firmly, on their rims while contemplating the horizon. Here, you have the perfect vision of the abyss beneath. the majesty of the skies above, or the endlessness of the horizon in front; but you can't see what's behind, and that's how it should be! What's the point in contemplating something that you already know and lived? Haven't your coming here made you know the paths on which you walked? That's why, what belongs to the past should remain there. The past gives us the lessons. We do not need a heavier luggage than this!”

“The best teacher you'll ever have is yourself. I'm not your teacher! I'm here only to show you the way towards what you already know, and also, show you a way to find out what you don't know but feel that it exists.”

“Be silent like a rock, deeply rooted and straight like a tree, bend like a reed in the wind, listen to the sounds that your ears ignore, and feel the world through your intuition. The latter will never betray you, your senses will!”

“The moon was reigning over their world, glowing its full splendor to all those willing to look up.”

“What's wisdom if not the will to learn the lessons, which Nature puts in one's way at every step?”

“Sorry' is just a word… A word that acquires a little bit of strength when uttered by a heart, which believes in its power, but yours is silent.”
