Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

The sea that calls all things unto her cals me, and I must embark.

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.

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

Disagreement may be the shortest cut between two minds.

Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.
