It does not matter much whom we live with in this world, but it matters a great deal whom we dream of.

I wanted to walk straight on through the red grass and over the edge of the world, which could not be very far away. The light and air abot me told me that the world ended here: only the ground and sun and sky were left, and if one went a little farther there would only be sun and sky, and one would float off into them, like the tawny hawks which sailed over our heads making slow shadows on the grass.

Happy people do a great deal for their friends.

Men travel faster now, but I do not know if they go to better things.

I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do. I feel as if this tree knows everything I ever think of when I sit here. When I come back to it, I never have to remind it of anything; I begin just where I left off.

If youth did not matter so much to itself, it would never have the heart to go on.

Religion is different from everything else; because in religion seeking is finding.
