I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere.

Songs don’t dignify human activity. Human activity dignifies the song.

At first first nothing will happen to us and later on it will happen to us again.

I see people allowing their lives to diminish, to become shallow, so they can't enjoy the deep wells of experience. Maybe it's always been this way, when the heart tends to shut down. If only the heart shut down and there were no repercussions, it would be O.K., but when the heart shuts down, the whole system goes into a kind of despair that is intolerable.

We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In love we disappear.

Nothing can stop you from thinking. The human mind is designed to think continually.

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
