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

How distant I am from people when I am with them, and how close when they are far away.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.

The longing for paradise is paradise itself.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

Perhaps a man may commit suicide in self-defense.
