Our contradictions. We are in such a hurry to grow up, and then we long for our lost childhood. We make ourselves ill earning money, and then spend all our money on getting well again. We think so much about the future that we neglect the present, and thus experience neither the present nor the future. We live as if we were never going to die, and die as if we had never lived.

Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Act because you need to act

The story of one person is the story of all of humanity.

But if you've ever felt love, you'll know how painful it is to suffer for love.

Everything is possible, from angels to demons to economists and politicians.

We must never forget that spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love. And with love, there are no rules.

Our soul is governed by four invisible forces: love, death, power and time.
