“Peace is something tangible. It silences the outgoing energy of the mind and feeds the aspiring heart. Peace is not merely the absence of quarreling and fighting. True peace is not affected by the roaring of the world, outer or inner. This sea of peace is at our command if we practise the spiritual life.”
“Harald seemed to be an invisible but ever-present spirit who affected life in the village by his absence.”
“Never joke about the job of your friend. He/she feeds their family with it and it affects their dignity!”
“In the calculus of feelings, you never really know how one person's absence will affect you more than another's.”
