Take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter.

He who does not travel, who does not read, who does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself, she who does not find grace in herself, dies slowly.

If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life

Love is not about property, diamonds and gifts. It is about sharing your very self with the world around you.

In one kiss, you'll know all I haven't said.

To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.

Every day you play with the light of the universe.

Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.

And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us.

If each day falls inside each night, there exists a well where clarity is imprisoned. We need to sit on the rim of the well of darkness and fish for fallen light with patience.

Be the story teller in your life...never let anyone dictate what you’re about.

Truth and nonviolence are perhaps the activest forces you have in the world.

Nothing is permanent about our behavior patterns except our belief that they are so.

Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.

I am a true adorer of life, and if I can't reach as high as the face of it, I plant my kiss somewhere lower down. Those who understand will require no further explanation.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun

I had a lifelong quarrel with God, but in the end we made up.
