If your everyday life appears to be unworthy subject matter, do not complain to life. Complain to yourself, Lament that you are not poet enough to call up its wealth.

For bel.i.eve me, the more one is, the richer is all one experiences. And whoever wants to have deep love in his life must collect and save for it and gather honey.

I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough

Embrace your solitude and love it. Endure the pain it causes, and try to sing out with it. For those near to you are distant.

Life is heavier than the weight of all things.

Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.

Perhaps the great renewal of the world will consist of this, that man and woman, freed of all confused feelings and desires, shall no longer seek each other as opposites, but simply as members of a family and neighbors, and will unite as human beings, in order to simply, earnestly, patiently, and jointly bear the heavy responsibility of sexuality that has been entrusted to them.
