Do not give them a candle to light the way, teach them how to make fire instead. That is the meaning of enlightenment.

A spark of every fire we seek is already within us.

I would rather lie facedown on the ground and use my body as a bridge, than stand proud and tall and use my body as a wall.

Put down your stones. Why are you breaking the window when God has left the door wide open? If you are afraid, lover, follow me. I will guide the way.

Be like the sun who fell in love with the moon and shared all his light.

Love, they said, burns youand builds you.But with you, there’s no ash.Just light.

Love is our religion. Love is our light. It is the only thing that gives us any hope.

I have drunk the night and swallowed the stars. I am dancing with abandon and singing with rapture. There is not a thing I do not love. There is not a person I have not forgiven. I feel a universe of love. I feel a universe of light. Tonight, I am with old friends and we are returning home. The moon is our witness.

Some people are in such utter darkness that they will burn you just to see a light. Try not to take it personally.
