“I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.”

“My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear — a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence. The "I" in me, my friend, dwells in the house of silence, and therein it shall remain for ever more, unperceived, unapproachable.”

“I have yet to meet an ignorant man whose roots are not embedded in my soul.”

“I have never agreed with my other self wholly. The truth of the matter seems to lie between us.”

“My soul counselled me and instructed me to see that the light which I carry is not my light, That my song was not created within me; For though I travel with the light, I am not the light.”

“Hearken to my story. Listen but do not pity me. For pity is intended for the weak and I am still strong in my affliction.”

“When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am in the heart of God.”
