The whole universe is contained within a single human being - you.

Walk out like someone suddenly born into colour. Do it now.

Make peace with the universe. Take joy in it.

You sit here for days saying, this is a strange business. You're the strange business. You have the energy of the sun in you, but you keep knotting it up at the base of your spine.

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

Open your hands if you want to be held.

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.
