“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.”

“Everything is so alive, that I can be alive. Without moving I can see it all. In your life I see everything that lives.”

“A weakened mind always sees everything through a black veil. The soul makes its own horizons; your soul is dark, which is why you see such a cloudy sky.”

“Weakened minds see everything through a black veil; the soul forms its own horizons; your soul is darkened, and consequently the sky of your future appears stormy and unpromising.”

“It is the way of weakened minds to see everything through a black cloud. The soul forms its own horizons; your soul is darkened, and consequently the sky of the future appears stormy and unpromising”

“There's no stopping the soul that radiates out and around us, any more than one can stop the sweet perfume of a rose. You could, of course, hold your nose. But the rose will continue to exude its rich fragrance, even while you suffocate.”
