Your joy can fill you only as deeply as your sorrow has carved you.

When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.

Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.

Marriage is like a golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity.

Even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.

When you were a wandering desire in the mist, I too was there, a wandering desire. Then we sought one another, and out of our eagerness dreams were born. And dreams were time limitless, and dreams were space without measure.

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
