“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.”
“Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.”
“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.”
“What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?”
“All that spirits desire, spirits attain.”
“Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.”
