Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.

Nightingales are put in cages because their songs give pleasure. Whoever heard of keeping a crow?

Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.

Would you become a pilgrim on the road of love? The first condition is that you make yourself humble as dust and ashes.

The life of this world is nothing but the harmony of opposites

People want you to be happy. Don't keep serving them your pain! If you could untie your wings and free your soul of jealousy, you and everyone around you would fly up like doves.

Birdsong brings relief to my longing. I am just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say.
