For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.

Persecution cannot harm him who stands by Truth. Did not Socrates fall proudly a victim in body? Was not Paul stoned for the sake of the Truth? It is our inner selves that hurt us when we disobey it, and it kills us when we betray it.

I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.

Every man is two men; one is awake in the darkness, the other asleep in the light.

How often have you sailed in my dreams. And now you come in my awakening, which is my deeper dream.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
