Life takes us by surprise and orders us to move toward the unknown -even when we don't want to and when we think we don't need to.

We have to stop and be humble enough to understand that there is something called mystery.

Miracles occur all around us, signs from God show us the way, angels plead to be heard, but we pay little attention to them.

Dreams nourish the soul just as food nourishes the body. The pleasure of the search and of adventure feeds our dreams.

Wait. This was the first lesson I had learned about love. The day drags along, you make thousands of plans, you imagine every possible conversation, you promise to change your behavior in certain ways -- and you feel more and more anxious until your loved one arrives. But by then, you don't know what to say. The hours of waiting have been transformed into tension, the tension has become fear, and the fear makes you embarrassed about showing affection.

Any given thing on the face of the earth could reveal the history of all things

Everything new troubles us. Life catches us unawares and obliges us to journey towards the unknown, even when we do not want to, even when we do not need to.
