It is good to taste for yourself everything you need to know. That worldly pleasures and wealth are not good things, I learned even as a child. I knew it for a long time, but only now have I experienced it.

I felt knowledge and the unity of the world circulate in me like my own blood.

At the first kiss I felt something melt inside me that hurt in an exquisite way. All my longings, all my dreams and sweet anguish, all the secrets that slept deep within me came awake, everything was transformed and enchanted, and everything made sense.

Only the ideas that we really live have any value.

I called the world of phenomena an illusion, I called my eyes and my tongue an accident, valueless phenomena. No, that is all over; I have awakened, I have really awakened and I have just been born today.

God does not send us despair in order to kill us; he sends it in order to awaken us to new life.

We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral; we have already climbed many steps.
