Romantic souvenirs had a way of attaching themselves to one when one wanted to move on, but they were not to be taken seriously.

We create gods and struggle with them, and they bless us.

Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

Love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else.

This day will never come again and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered to him again in all eternity. The sun will never shine as it does today...But you must play your part and sing a song, one of your best.

The sacred sense of beyond, of timelessness, of a world which had an eternal value and the substance of which was divine had been given back to me today by this friend of mine who taught me dancing.

You must find your dream...but no dream lasts forever, each dream is followed by another, and one should not cling to any particular dream.
