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

You are persecuted and despised. It were better that a person should be the oppressed than that he should be the oppressor; and fitter that he should be a victim to the frailty of human instincts than that he should be powerful and crush the flowers of life and disfigure the beauties of feeling with his desire.

A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.

When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.

I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here; and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.
