Open your eyes! The world is still intact; it is as pristine as it was on the first day, as fresh as milk!

All that passes is raised to the dignity of expression; all that happens is raised to the dignity of meaning. Everything is either symbol or parable.

Speak about Christ only when you are asked. But live so that people ask about Christ!

Time: all things consume it, love alone makes use of it.

Open your eyes! The world is still intact; it is as pristine as it was on the first day, as fresh as milk!

How amazing it is to be alive Anyone who lives and breathes and puts both feet on the ground, What possible reason could he have for envying the gods

You explain nothing, O poet, but thanks to you all things become explicable.
