To belittle, you have to be little.

I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.

Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires poets, the same moon which angers the silence of the sea with a terrible roar?

You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.

Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.

Keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life.

No human relation gives one possession in another—every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.

For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life’s procession that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite.
