a la folie

These are really terribly rough times, and we really should try to be as nice to each other as possible.

You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else.

Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what’s more than enough.

And then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?

I was born lost and take no pleasure in being found.

The birds that were singing in the dew-drenched garden seemed to be telling the flowers about her.

Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.

The human bones are but vain lines dawdling, the whole universe a blank mold of stars.
