“The more loving we can be, the more powerful we become.”

“The more we become able to become a child again, to keep ourselves childlike, the more we can understand that because we love the world and we are open to understanding, to comprehension, that when we kill the child in us, we are no longer.”

“The more our bodies fail us, the more naked and more demanding is the spirit, the more open and loving we can become if we are not afraid of what we are and of what we feel. I am not a phoenix yet, but here among the ashes, it may be that the pain is chiefly that of new wings trying to push through.”

“We do not need more intellectual power, we need more spiritual power. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen.”

“We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to become much more than what we are.”

“Certainty is not to be had. But as we learn this we become not more moral but more resigned. We become nihilists.”
