“Long life wore away everything that was not essential.”
“On the essentials, unity. On the nonessentials, liberty. In everything, charity.”
“Seek the insignificant small but essential qualities, essential to life.”
“(Djinn are essentially vapor.) "I blew him away.”
“Campfire Companions” poem:“What a longing they touched in me! Ah,would that I could lose myself in the wilderness,become a ghost of smoke and shadow,moving so subtly through the lucid moonlightthat all my edges wore away.”
“Not everything in life is a long train with tickets available to all.”
