Each act of unfaithfulness toward our inner being is a blot on our souls. If we continue to be unfaithful, our souls are eventually torn apart and we slowly bleed to death.

For those who sincerely seek the truth should not fear the outcome.

Any religion or philosophy which is not based on a respect for life is not a true religion or philosophy.

Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.

If a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.

Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now - always.

Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.
