Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.

Give yourself completely to the one you call God. If you are not doing it you are wasting your time here.

Set your sights on a place higher than your eyes can see.

Once you conquer your selfish self, all your darkness will change to light.

A servant wants to be rewarded for what he does. A lover wants only to be in love's presence, that ocean whose depth will never be known.

Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.

And patience flees my heart, And reason flees my mind. Oh, how drunk can I get to be, Without your love's security?
