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.

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?

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.

Both sleep and insomnolency, when immoderate, are bad.

God heals, and the doctor takes the fees.

When I hear something that comes from me that makes me fall down off my chair, it's not often.

I lock my door upon myself, And bar them out; but who shall wall Self from myself, most loathed of all?

My writing is done in railroad yards while waiting for a freight, in the fields while waiting for a truck, and at noon after lunch. Towns are too distracting.

Grace saved my life; it can revolutionize yours.

I believe Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John Kennedy. I believe that.

Because I was born a slave, I love liberty more than you.

Yogi Bear changed my life in ways that I can't explain because it's not a full feature on me.
