Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Love is the most powerful and still most unknown energy in the world.

We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist and forever will recreate each other.

The future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope.

The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.

Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.

The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one's self to others.

Above all, trust in the slow work of God.

You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.

The truth is, indeed, that love is the threshold of another universe.

People who love themselves, don’t hurt other people. The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer.

The dreams we imagine when we are asleep should not in any way make us doubt the truth of the thoughts we have when we are awake.

If Springtime crawls out of thewild mouths of flowers, thensurely, Winter crawls out of mine.

I like the idea of a writer being haunted by his own creation, especially if the writer resents the way the character defines him.

To know and not do, is to not yet know.

It was a big relief off my shoulder.

Instead, we just sat there, together but really apart, watching a show about a stranger and all her secrets, while keeping our own to ourselves, as always.

I like to make great albums.

It is lost at dice, what ancient honor won.
