You can knock on a deaf man's door forever.

Every perfect traveler always creates the country where he travels.

As I watched the seagulls, I thought, That's the road to take; find the absolute rhythm and follow it with absolute trust.

You do miracles if you concentrate your mind on one thing and one thing only.

I believe I'm a caterpillar buried deep down under the ground. The entire earth is above me, crushing me and I begin to bore through the soil, making a passage to the surface so that I can penetrate the crust and issue into the light. It's hard work boring through the entire earth, but I'm able to be patient because I have a strong premonition that as soon as I do issue into the light I shall become a butterfly.

We are not men, to have need of another, an eternal life; we are women, and for us one moment with man we love is everlasting Paradise, one moment far from the man we love is everlasting hell. It is here on earth that we women love out eternity

Before me is the abyss. How can I leap across it? And if I do not leap, how shall I ever be able to reach God?
