“When one does not have what one wants, one must want what one has.”

Life, as we find it, is too hard for us; it brings us too many pains, disappointments and impossible tasks.

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.

Men are strong so long as they represent a strong idea,they become powerless when they oppose it.

All giving is asking, and all asking is an asking for love.

If you can’t do it, give up!

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

A love that does not discriminate seems to me to forfeit a part of its own value, by doing an injustice to its object; and secondly, not all men are worthy of love.

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways. We become closed – not only to people’s pain – but also their happiness.

Maturity is the ability to postpone gratification.

When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.

Love is a state of temporary psychosis.

Not to know the past is to be in bondage to it, while to remember, to know, is to be set free.

From error to error one discovers the entire truth.

The paranoid is never entirely mistaken.

Where they love they do not desire and where they desire they do not love.

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.

It is the heart always that sees, before the head can see.

When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting.

Let’s settle our karmas with stability & dignity, understanding that even if others do wrong to us, they have a reason.

Someday is a romantic lie, right now is an urgent truth.

How much deeper would the ocean be if sponges didn’t live there?

Endurance is patience concentrated.

Perhaps this is just punishment for those who have been heartless, to understand only when nothing can be undone.

See deep enough, and you see musically.
