When we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little while. The spring returns and the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy.

Does a leaf, when it falls from the tree in winter, feel defeated by the cold? The tree says to the leaf: "That’s the cycle of life. You may think you’re going to die, but you live on in me. It’s thanks to you that I’m alive, because I can breathe. It’s also thanks to you that I have felt loved, because I was able to give shade to the weary traveller. Your sap is in my sap; we are one thing.

If we are desperate, though , if we have nothing to lose, or if we are full of enthusiasm for life, then the unknown reveals itself, and our universe changes direction.

No one should let themselves get used to anything.

Keeping a smile on your lips even when you're on the verge of tears. Feeling sorry for those who show their feelings.

To enjoy the rainbow, first enjoy the rain.

The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowhere because it's blocked by pain. I could inhale and exhale every morning for the rest of my life, but that wouldn't solve anything.
