Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

He who listens to truth is not less than he who utters truth.

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

I use hate as a weapon to defend myself; had I been strong, I would never have needed that kind of weapon.

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.

The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
