A minute moving among the patterns of beauty and the dreams of love is greater and more precious than an age filled with splendor granted by the weak to the strong.

Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.

The voice of life in me cannot reach the ear of life in you; but let us talk that we may not feel lonely.

Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.

You are your own forerunner, and the towers you have builded are but the foundation of your giant-self. And that self too shall be a foundation.

Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.

Do not keep crying when your love has been gone. You only need Smile because he had been given you the opportunity to meet someone who is better.
