“I am dead because I lack desire,I lack desire because I think I possess,I think I possess because I do not try to give,In trying to give, you see that you have nothing,Seeing that you have nothing, you try to give of yourself,Trying to give of yourself, you see that you are nothing,Seeing that you are nothing, you desire to become,In desiring to become, you begin to live.”

“I am dead because I have no desire,I have no desire because I think I possess,I think I possess because I do not try to give;Trying to give, I see that I have nothing,Seeing that I have nothing, I try to give myself,Trying to give myself, I see that I am nothing,Seeing that I am nothing, I desire to become,Desiring to become, I live.”

“Nothing you become will disappoint me; I have no preconception that I'd like to see you be or do. I have no desire to forsee you, only to discover you. You can't disappoint me”

“Whom have I in heaven but you and earth possesses nothing I desire besides you"-Psalm 73:25”

“I am not trying to be preeminent because I am a superior being. I am not trying to be outstanding because I am a first-class success;see yourself the right way! You are Excellent.”

“Why am I fighting to live,If I am just living to fight Why am I trying to see. When there aint nothing in sightWhy am I trying to give, When no one gives me a try Why am I dying to live,If I am just living to die?”
