“Keep your intelligence white hot and your grief glistening“so your life will stay fresh.”

“My friend, you thought you lost Him;that all your life you've been separated from Him.Filled with wonder, you've always looked outside for Him,and haven't searched within your own house.”

“I say, Show me the way. You say, Put your head under your feet. That way you rise through the starsand see a hundred different ways to be with me.”

“Like a sculptor, if necessary,carve a friend out of stone.Realize that your inner sight is blindand try to see a treasure in everyone.”

“Take someone who doesn't keep score,who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing,who has not the slightest interest evenin his own personality: he's free.”

“A craftsman pulled a reed from the reedbed,cut holes in it, and called it a human being.Since then, it's been wailing a tender agonyof parting, never mentioning the skillthat gave it life as a flute”

“I know you're tired but come, this is the way.”
