Is not impermanence the very fragrance of our days?

Think... of the world you carry within you, and call this thinking whatever you want to: a remembering of your own childhood or a yearning toward a future of your own - only be attentive to what is arising within you, and place that above everything you perceive around you. What is happening in your innermost self is worthy of your entire love; somehow you must find a way to work at it.

There may be good, but there are no pleasant marriages.

Earth, my dearest, oh believe me, you no longer need your springtimes to win me over...Unspeakably, I have belonged to you, from the flush.

And you should not let yourself be confused in your solitude by the fact that there is something in you that wants to move out of it.

The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.

Fame is the sum of the misunderstanding that gathers about a new name.
