No one looks back and regrets leaving this world. What's regretted is how real we thought it was.
Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.
Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.
Hungry, you're a dog, angry and bad-natured. having eaten your fill, you become a carcass; you lie down like a wall, senseless. At one time a dog, at another time a carcass, how will you run with lions, or follow the saints?
Love comes with a knife, not some shy question, and not with fears for its reputation!
Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind; dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.
