Our task is to take this earth so deeply and wholly into ourselves that it will resurrect within our being.

The most visible joy can only reveal itself to us when we've transformed it, within.

Love the questions themselves...Live the questions now and have confidence that someday far into the future, [I will live my] way into the answer.

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Do not despair if the answers don't come immediately. Some answers are only revealed with the passage of time.

Life is heavier than the weight of all things.

Joy is a marvelous increasing of what exists, a pure addition out of nothingness.

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.
