“And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowersIs always the first to be touched by the thorns.”
“No truer word, save God's, was ever spoken,Than that the largest heart is soonest broken.”
“Have you noticed that the imbecile always smiles? Man's first frown is the first touch of God on his forehead. The touch of thought.”
“The first moments of being awake are neutral, as they always are, waiting for us to assign memory and meaning from the day before.”
“Awake, dear heart, awake. Thou hast slept well. Awake.”
“The plants and flowersI raised about my hutI now surrenderTo the willOf the wind”
