“Rose, oh pure contradiction, joyof being No-one's sleep under so manylids.”

“All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you.”

“Rose, toute ardente et pourtant claire,que l'on devrait nommer reliquairede Sainte-Rose ..., rose qui distribuecette troublante odeur de sainte nue.Rose plus jamais tentée, déconcertantede son interne paix; ultime amante,si loin d'Ève, de sa première alerte -,rose qui infiniment possède la perte.”

“Take your practiced powers and stretch them out until they span the chasm between contradictions ... for the god wants to know himself in you.”

“La rose complèteJ’ai une telle conscience de tonêtre, rose complète,que mon consentement te confondavec mon cœur en fête.Je te respire comme si tu étais,rose, toute la vie,et je me sens l’ami parfaitd’une telle amie.”

“Joy is a marvelous increasing of what exists, a pure addition out of nothingness.”

“Our task is to take this earth so deeply and wholly into ourselves that it will resurrect within our being.”
