The deepest experience of the creator is feminine, for it is experience of receiving and bearing.

If, when you wake up in the morning, you can think of nothing but writing . . . then you are a writer.

If there is nothing you can share with other people, try to be close to Things, they will not abandon you; and the nights are still here and the winds that move through the trees and across many lands; everything in the world of Things and animals is still filled with happening, which you can take part in.

All things want to float.

Your preparation for the real world is not in the answers you’ve learned, but in the questions you’ve learned how to ask yourself.

You must change your life.

Leave to your opinions their own quiet undisturbed development, which, like all progress, must come from deep within and cannot be pressed or hurried by anything.
