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

A teacher can only lead you to the threshold of your own mind.

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

When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.

Life has two halves: one patient and one afire. Love is the fiery half. Make me, O Lord, food for the flames.

But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care, nor your nights without a want and a grief, but rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.
