“Atom, you want to flee the sun? Madman, give up!You're a jar; fate's a stone- kick against it, and you''l waste your wine.”

“Either give me more wine or leave me alone.”

“People want you to be happy.Don't keep serving them your pain!If you could untie your wingsand free your soul of jealousy,you and everyone around youwould fly up like doves.”

“If you are seeking, seek us with joyFor we live in the kingdom of joy.Do not give your heart to anything elseBut to the love of those who are clear joy,Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair.For there are hopes: they are real, they exist –Do not go in the direction of darkness –I tell you: suns exist.”

“You run back and forth listening for unusual events,peering into the faces of travelers."Why are you looking at me like a madman?"I have lost a friend. Please forgive me.”

“When you are with everyone but me,you're with no one.When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone.Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When youbecome that many, you're nothing. Empty.”

“I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.”
