When you go through a hard period, When everything seems to oppose you, ... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute, NEVER GIVE UP! Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!

You must ask for what you really want. / Don't go back to sleep. / The door is round and open. / Don't go back to sleep.

Dance where you can break yourself up to pieces and totally abandon your worldly passions.

Trade your cleverness for bewilderment.

What in your life is calling you, When all the noise is silenced, The meetings adjourned... The lists laid aside, And the Wild Iris blooms By itself In the dark forest... What still pulls on your soul?

Listen, O drop, give yourself up without regret, and in exchange gain the Ocean. Listen, O drop, bestow upon yourself this honor, and in the arms of the Sea be secure. Who indeed should be so fortunate? An Ocean wooing a drop! In God's name, in God's name, sell and buy at once! Give a drop, and take this Sea full of pearls.

What strange beings we are! That sitting in hell at the bottom of the dark, we're afraid of our own immortality.
