“From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached.”

I’m doing badly, I’m doing well, whichever you prefer.

Should I be grateful or should I curse the fact that despite all misfortune I can still feel love, an unearthly love but still for earthly objects.

I do not speak as I think, I do not think as I should, and so it all goes on in helpless darkness.

Love is, that you are the knife which I plunge into myself.

He was a tool of the boss, without brains or backbone.

Now I can look at you in peace; I don’t eat you any more.

Even the merest gesture is holy if it is filled with faith.

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

I’m thinking only of my illness and my health, though both, the first as well as the second, are you.

I usually solve problems by letting them devour me.

I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.

I am always trying to convey something that can’t be conveyed, to explain something which is inexplicable, to tell about something I have in my bones, something which can be expressed only in the bones.

I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more

The meaning of life is that it stops.

Life isn’t trying to break you down. It’s trying to break you open.

After we come out of the storm we shouldn’t be the same individual that walked into it, That’s what the storms, opposition & adversity is about.

Whatever the world condemns you for, make it your own. It is yourself.

Anybody can do anything, it’s up to themselves. All it takes is the right intentions.

And the sun will rise to kiss you in all the ways they never could.

We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us.

All you need to know is that the future is wide open and you are about to create it by what you do.

Stay wherever you find hope.
