God works in mysterious ways. Things may look good outwardly, but there may be evil contained inside. Let no one be deluded by pride that he himself has conceived good ideas or done good deeds. If everything were as it seemed, the Prophet would not have cried out with such illuminated and illuminating perspicacity, Show me things as they are! You make things appear beautiful when in reality they are ugly; You make things appear ugly when in reality they are beautiful. Show us therefore each thing as it is lest we fall into a snare and be ever errant.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

Those loves which are for the sake of a colour are not love. In the end they are a disgrace.

Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope, free of mountainous wanting.

In your beauty, how to make poems.

Lovely days don’t come to you, you should walk to them.

A lover's life lies in death. You shall not find a heart without losing the heart.
