“Better to have a single perfect diamond than a sack of flawed stones.”
“Most people would call me incompetent, clumsy, flawed...""A pearl is a flaw. A diamond is an accident of nature. In all of creation, there's nothing more precious than the unexpected deviation.”
“To wait for a year to gain a pearl, is better than collecting pebbles everyday.”
“All things resist destruction, according to their capacity. Rocks, pebbles, diamonds. Unity is instinctive to being.”
“Let us not be too particular. It is better to have old second-hand diamonds than none at all.”
