“And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.”

“When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.”

“Love gives nothing but itself, and takes nothing but from itself. Love does not possess, nor would it be possessed. And do not think that you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.”

“You who travel with the wind, what weather vane shall direct your course?”

“And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may livethrough its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.”

“You may give them your love but not your thoughts,”

“I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.”
