The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies.

When you have once taken up a responsibility, you must see it through.

Dark clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light.

Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization.
