Fish cannot drown in water. Birds cannot sink in air. This has God given to all creatures, to foster and seek their own nature. How then can I withstand mine?

The day of my spiritual awakening was the day I saw and knew I saw all things in God and God in all things.

Lord, you are my lover, my longing, my flowing stream, my sun, and I am your reflection.

Stupidity is sufficient unto itself. Wisdom can never learn enough.

I was created in love. For that reason nothing can express my beauty nor liberate me except love alone.

Those who would know much, and love little, will ever remain at but the beginning of a godly life.

From suffering I have learned this: that whoever is sore wounded by love will never be made whole unless she embraces the very same love which wounded her.

I cannot dance, O Lord, unless You lead me.

God, give me by Your grace what You give to dogs by nature.

One day I saw with the eyes of my eternity in bliss and without effort, a stone. It tasted sweet, like heavenly herbs.

I have seen a place-its name is Eternal Hatred It is built in the deepest abyss of the stones of mortal sin. Pride was the first stone-this was seen in Lucifer.

Since childhood I’d been suspected of imagination

Some people just live out their whole lives with some sort of ache in their heart they never resolve.

I long to accomplish a great and noble task but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

The wake doesn't drive the ship

I was an angel of the desert. In your arms I broke my wings.

The smiles of infants are said to be the first fruits of human reason.

Human concepts, no matter how grand they may appear, have limitations.

Hence it is that old men do plant young trees, the fruit whereof another age shall take.

As a rule, Germans shouldn't do comedy. Their last box office comedy was Nosferatu.

Someday social media might, hopefully in some small measure, wake up to the fact that other people's failures are not your successes.
