“That is the Mongolian creation myth: out of two different natures love is born. In contradiction, love grows in strength. In confrontation and transformation, love is preserved.”

“In the words of the Mongolian creation myth: ‘There came a wild dog who was blue and gray and whose destiny was imposed on him by the heavens. His mate was a roe deer.Thus begins another love story. The wild dog with his courage and strength, the doewith her gentleness, intuition, and elegance. Hunter and hunted meet and love each other.According to the laws of nature, one should destroy the other, but in love there is neithergood nor evil, there is neither construction nor destruction, there is merely movement.And love changes the laws of nature.”

“Every man loves two women;the one is the creation of his imagination and the other is not yet born”

“Love is born into every human being; it calls back the halves of our original nature together; it tries to make one out of two and heal the wound of human nature.”

“Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of suffering and nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront adversity.”

“Yes, the essence of every love is a child, and it makes no difference at all whether it has ever actually been conceived or born. In the algebra of love a child is the symbol of the magical sum of two beings.”
