“The summit sings what is being spoken in the depths.”

“The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he is.”

“The fact that we do not speak it but sing it only expresses the fact that our spoken words are inadequate to express what we want to say, that the burden of our song goes far beyond all human words.”

“How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.”

“Outside the trees dragged their leaves like nets through the depths of the air; the sound of water was in the room and through the waves came the voices of birds singing.”

“Sing to your mountains because as you sing, they are being cast into the sea.As you sing, the portals of heaven are opening.”
