A pretty wife is something for the fastidious vanity of a roue to retire upon.

It may help us, in those times of trouble, to remember that love is not only about relationship, it is also an affair of the soul.

A genuine odyssey is not about piling up experiences. It is a deeply felt, risky, unpredictable tour of the soul.

Finding the right work is like discovering your own soul in the world.

It is not while beauty And youth are thine own And thy cheeks Unprofaned by a tear That the ferver and faith Of a soul can be known To which time will but Make thee more dear No the heart that has truly loved Never forgets But as truly loves On to the close As the sunflower turns On her god when he sets The same look which She'd turned when he rose.

The problem in narcissism is not the high ideals and ambitions, it's the difficulty one encounters when trying to give them body.

Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
