If you put on shoes that are too tight and walk out across an empty plain, you will not feel the freedom of the place unless you take off your shoes. Your shoe-constriction has you confined. At night before sleeping you take off the tight shoes, and your soul releases into a place it knows. Dreams glide deeper.

There is a city in which you find everything you desire-handsome people, pleasures, ornaments of every kind-all that the natural person craves. However, you cannot find a single wise person there.

Tomorrow you'll be brave, you say? Fool! Dive today.

I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The Soul calls from within me: 'You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.'

There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.

Dance when you're perfectly free.

In Winter the bare boughs that seem to sleep Work covertly, preparing for their Spring.
