“You call it hope — that fire of fire!It is but agony of desire.”
“So when your hopes on fire,But you know your desire,Don't hold a glass over the flame,Don't let your heart grow cold, I will call you by name, I will share your road.”
“Let your will burn in this fire so that it takes you nowhere else. Let your self be burned in this fire of eternity, love and peace. Don't be afraid of this fire, it is love itself. This desire for freedom is the fire of love!”
“The Prophets accept all agony and trust itFor the water has never feared the fire.”
“The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! Hell is in your future if you give in to desire!”
“Ella turned to the fireplace where a blackened kettle hung over what Granny Weatherwax always called an optimist's fire: two logs and hope.”
