The end of one stage is only the beginning of another. Any dangers overcome are the necessary preparation to do better in the next stage.

The search for happiness is more important than the need for pain.

Imagine a new story for your life and start living it.

I'm not doing anything, and yet I'm also doing the most important thing a man can do: I'm listening to what I needed to hear from myself.

I need to write about love. I need to think and think and write about love-otherwise, my soul won’t survive.

O God, when I listen to the voices of animals, the sounds of trees, the murmurings of water, the singing of birds, the whistling of the wind, or the boom of thunder, I see in them evidence of Your unity; I feel that You are supreme power, omniscience, supreme knowledge, and supreme justice. I recognize You, O God, in the trials I am going through. May Your pleasure be my pleasure, too. May I be Your joy, the joy that a Father feels for a son. And may I think of You calmly and with determination, even when I find it hard to say I love You.

Love will never separate a man from his personal legend.
