We ignore the gods and fill our minds with trash.

only someone who is ready for everything, who doesn't exclude any experience, even the most incomprehensible, will live the relationship with another person as something alive and will himself sound the depths of his own being.

There are no classes in life for beginners; right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult.

So this is where people come to live; I would have thought it is a city to die in.

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves...At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer.

You must think that something is happening upon you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall.

you are not too old and it is not too late to dive into your increasing depths where life calmly gives out it's own secret
