“You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun.”
“Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.”
“Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.”
“When you encounter obstacles, don’t turn your back on them. Face them, confront them and your will see them dissolving in front of your eyes.”
“Never hide yourself! When you say something, don’t be in the shadow; let everyone see you! Whatever you say always put your name under it! Be courageous enough not to use any mask; don’t forget that hiding among the bushes is the affair of the cowards! Let the Sun shines on your face and everyman see you!”
“This is the gift and the sorrow of the Athanate; to see your loves pass before you like the days of summer while your heart still beats. To keep your vigil in the shadows and rise again with every sun.”
