Appreciate the things and people in your life while remaining independent of them. Give thanks for them, but realize that they do not complete you. Only you can complete you.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
I would always rather be happy than dignified.
He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
