If you knew the secret of life, you too would choose no other companion but love.

When I die, I shall soar with angels, and when I die to the angels, what I shall become you cannot imagine.

Don't dismiss the heart, even if it's filled with sorrow. God's treasures are buried in broken hearts.

Those who don't feel this Love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of spring water or take in the sunset like supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep on. This Love is beyond the study of theology, that old trickery and hypocrisy. If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on. I've given up on my brain. I've torn the cloth to shreds and thrown it away. If you're not completely naked, wrap your beautiful robe of words around you, and sleep on

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.
