Death changes nothing but the mask that covers our faces.

When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

You cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

Love provided me with a tongue and tears.

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

In the depths of your hopes and desires, lies your silent knowledge of the beyond, and like seeds dreaming beneath the snow, your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
