“In the beat of a heart, the suck of a breath, you are the universe.”

“Name yourself in your heart and know who you are.”

“In my heart are the deeds my body has done and my heart has been weighed in the balance.”

“Who you are is limited only by who you think you are.”

“My body is but wax and wick for flame. When the candle burns out, the light shines elsewhere.”

“Not a perfect soul, I am perfecting. Not a human being, I am a human becoming.”

“I laugh maniacally, then take a deep breath and touch my chest- expecting a heart to be thumping quickly, impatiently, but there's nothing there, not even a beat.”
