“That day, that day when I can gaze at the sea--both of us calm--and I, trusting, having poured my whole heart into my Life Work....when death--black waves!--no longer courts me and I can smile, constantly, at everything because, my bones, there will be so little of myself left to give it.”

“If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.”

“En la soledad no se encuentra más que lo que a la soledad se lleva.”

“Lo que más indigna al charlatán es alguien silencioso y digno.”

“Si te dan papel pautado, utiliza el otro lado.”

“I am not I.I am this onewalking beside me whom I do not see,whom at times I manage to visit,and whom at other times I forget;who remains calm and silent while I talk,and forgives, gently, when I hate,who walks where I am not,who will remain standing when I die.”

“…Perhaps this momentary life of ours is only the light that divides our infinite origin from our infinite end. ”

“To live is nothing more than to come here to die, to be what we were before being born, but with apprenticeship, experience, knowledge of cause, and perhaps with will. ”

“Si te dan papel rayado, escribe de traves""Bila mereka memberimu kertas bergaris, tulis di sebaliknya”

“I unpetalled you, like a rose,to see your soul,and I didn't see it. But everything around-horizons of land and of seas-,everything, out to the infinite,was filled with a fragrance,enormous and alive.”
