Only love and death will change all things.

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

Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours; let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.

If I accept the sunshine and warmth, then I must also accept the thunder and lightning.

Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.

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.

And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
