My work is loving the world.

it is a serious thing // just to be alive / on this fresh morning / in this broken world.

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.

I don't ask for the sights in front of me to change, only the depth of my seeing.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.

One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began.

Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

In this universe we are given two gifts: the ability to love and the ability to question. Which are, at the same time, the fires that warm us and the fires that scorch us.

You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.

You have tried to be superior in an ordinary realm. Now you must learn to be ordinary in a superior realm.

I was with book, as a woman is with child.

Ignorance is a deep darkness.

Every beautiful street is a port of happiness!

If you strive to become a good human being with the qualities of generosity, humility and having reverence for life...just maybe you'll become a great musician.

You can't make a great play until you first do it in practice.

Each man had only one genuine vocation to find the way to himself.

As we are human, we can't do what we can't do; as we're neurotic, we can't do what we can.

I know well that when Christ is nearest, Satan also is busiest.
