Do not seek death. Death will find you. But seek the road which makes death a fulfillment.

If even dying is to be made a social function, then, grant me the favor of sneaking out on tiptoe without disturbing the party.

Each morning we must hold out the chalice of our being to receive, to carry, and give back. It must be held out empty - for the past must only be reflected in its polish, its shape, its capacity.

Only one feat is possible: not to have run away.

The longest journey is the journey inward.

The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.

To reach perfection, we must all pass, one by one, through the death of self-effacement.
