Most people believe the mind to be a mirror, more or less accurately reflecting the world outside them, not realizing on the contrary that the mind is itself the principal element of creation.

My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.

The fundamental desire of life is the desire to exist.

Joy is there everywhere; it is superfluous, unnecessary; nay, it very often contradicts the most peremptory behests of necessity. It exists to show that the bonds of law can only be explained by love; they are like body and soul. Joy is the realisation of the truth of oneness, the oneness of our soul with the world and of the world-soul with the supreme lover.

Your love keeps me afloat but will remain the anchor in my soul... I don't really have words to describe how romantic I find that. Your love is what keeps me going, but it's also the anchor that keeps me close to you. I love it!

Whatever we treasure for ourselves separates us from others; our possessions are our limitations.

Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call thee friend who art my lord.
