If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

The fundamental desire of life is the desire to exist.

Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.

There is a point where in the mystery of existence contradictions meet; where movement is not all movement and stillness is not all stillness; where the idea and the form, the within and the without, are united; where infinite becomes finite, yet not losing its infinity. If this meeting is dissolved, then things become unreal.

You have made me known to friends whom I knew not. You have given me seats in homes not my own. You have brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger... When one knows You, then there is no alien, and no door is shut.

Unless you have found God in your own soul, the whole world will seem meaningless to you.

When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.
