In his or her life, each person can take one of two attitudes: to build or to plant. Builders may take years over their tasks, but one day they will finish what they are doing. Then they will stop, hemmed in by their own walls. Life becomes meaningless once the building is finished. Those who plant suffer the storms and the seasons and rarely rest. Unlike a building, a garden never stops growing. And by its constant demands on the gardner's attentions, it makes of the gardener's life a great adventure.

Only the possibility of carrying out a dream makes our life worth living.

Sorrows do not last forever when we are journeying towards the thing we have always wanted.

We must at all costs avoid saying no because people prefer those who say yes, and this allows us to survive in hostile territory.

You can't change the wind. But you can adjust the sails to reach your destination

I am in the Aleph, the point at which everything is in the same place at the same time. I'm at a window, looking out at the world and its secret places, poetry lost in time and words left hanging in space...sentences that are perfectly understood, even when left unspoken. Feelings that simultaneously exalt and suffocate.

What hurts us is what heals us.
