Love is a mirror. In it you see nothing except your reflection. You see nothing except your real face.

Give yourself a kiss. If you want to hold the beautiful one, hold yourself.

Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.

You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.

No better love than love with no objective, no more satisfying work than work with no purpose. If you could give up tricks and cleverness, that would be the cleverest trick!

The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.

When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
