“إن المحبين الذين يصرون على محاولة الاحتفاظ بكل شيء في أوج وميضه النفسي سوف يقضون أيامهم في علاقة يزداد تحجرها يوماً بعد يوم. فالرغبة في إجبار الحب على الاستمرار في العيش فقط - في أكثر أشكاله الإيجابية - هو ما يؤدي إلى سقوطه ميتاً من أجل ما يولد ما هو أفضل.”

“ما في الحب شيء !! ولا على المحبين من سبيل !! إنما السبيل على من ينسى في الحب دينه، أو يضيع خلقه، أو يهدم رجولته”

“البرنوجرافيك هو القاتل الخفي لكل أملٍ فني في مشهد الحب. إن معركة الفنان الحقيقي ليستْ مع مشهد الحب، بل مع ما قبل مشهد الحب، ومع ما بعد مشهد الحب. إن مشهد الحب الكبير في السينما والأدب موجود فقط كي يتم تجاوزه، هو في حقيقته مشهد فارغ، لكنه فراغ لا ينفي العمق، فراغ يجعل الأشياء تدور من حوله، على محيطه إلى أن يبتلعها كثقب أسود.”

“To be poor and be without trees, is to be the most starved human being in the world. To be poor and have trees, is to be completely rich in ways that money can never buy.”

“The way to maintain one's connection to the wild is to ask yourself what it is that you want. This is the sorting of the seed from the dirt. One of the most important discriminations we can make in this matter is the difference between things that beckon to us and things that call from our souls. Nowhere can this be seen more clearly than in the choice of mates and lovers. A lover cannot be chosen a la smorgasbord. A lover has to be chosen from soul-craving. To choose just because something mouthwatering stands before you will never satisfy the hunger of the soul-self. And that is what the intuition is for; it is the direct messenger of the soul.”

“Having a lover/friend who regards you as a living growing criatura, being, just as much as the tree from the ground, or a ficus in the house, or a rose garden out in the side yard... having a lover and friends who look at you as a true living breathing entity, one that is human but made of very fine and moist and magical things as well... a lover and friends who support the ciatura in you... these are the people you are looking for. They will be the friends of your soul for life. Mindful choosing of friends and lovers, not to mention teachers, is critical to remaining conscious, remaining intuitive, remaining in charge of the fiery light that sees and knows.”

“I learned about the sacred art of self decoration with the monarch butterflies perched atop my head, lightning bugs as my night jewelry, and emerald-green frogs as bracelets.”
