The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.

That deepest thing, that recognition, that knowledge, that sense of kinship began the first time I saw you,and it is the same now - only a thousand times deeper and tenderer. I shall love you to eternity. I loved you long before we met in this flesh. I knew that when I first saw you. It was destiny. We are together like this and nothing can shake us apart.

If I extend an empty hand and in retrieving it and finding it still empty, I feel disappointment, that is foolishness; yet if I extend a hand which is full and yet find no one to receive it, then that is hopelessness.

I learnt silence from the talkative

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

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