There is one way of breathing that is shameful and constricted. Then, there's another way: a breath of love that takes you all the way to infinity.

Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire.

People who repress desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites.

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.

If you are wholly perplexed and in straits, have patience, for patience is the key to joy.

Some nights stay up till dawn, as the moon sometimes does for the sun. Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way of a well, then lifted out into light.
