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.

Oh, Lord God, have mercy on me and mend my broken wings.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.

A traveller I am, and a navigator, and everyday I discover a new region within my soul.

Only love and death will change all things.

For the sight of the angry weather saddens my soul and the sight of the town, sitting like a bereaved mother beneath layers of ice, oppresses my heart.
