Believing is a fine thing, but placing those beliefs into execution is a test of strength.

Many are those who lift their heads above the mountain tops, but their spirits remain dormant in the obscurity of the caverns.

I purified my lips with sacred fire that I might speak of love, but when I opened my mouth to speak, I found myself mute.

I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes; nor would I be content with converting my tears, invited by my agonized self, into calm. It is my fervent hope that my whole life on this earth will ever be tears and laughter.

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