“Every lie is a poison; there are no harmless lies. Only the truth is safe. Only the truth gives me consolation – it is the one unbreakable diamond.”

Without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us – there is no life.

Every heart has its own skeletons.

Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.

Happiness is in your ability to love others.

Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.

Each person’s task in life is to become an increasingly better person.

He was afraid of defiling the love which filled his soul.

Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be.

In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.

I always loved you, and if one loves anyone, one loves the whole person, just as they are and not as one would like them to be.

All the diversity, all the charm, and all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade.

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.

One must be cunning and wicked in this world.

Everything I know, I know because of love.

Man cannot possess anything as long as he fears death. But to him who does not fear it, everything belongs. If there was no suffering, man would not know his limits, would not know himself.

Let us forgive each other – only then will we live in peace.

I was told I could break free if I wanted to. That my wings would mend with time. But how can I mend a part of me that was never built to weather a storm?

I broke something and realized I should break something once a week to remind me how fragile life is.

Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it. To someone who has seen a dozen people frown, scowl or turn their faces away, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds.

The whole problem of life, then, is this: how to break out of one’s own loneliness, how to communicate with others.

Open your mind, allow your feelings to be expressed, to be pushed out, and your heart will neither break nor burst, but be a free-flowing channel of the life energy in your soul.

Break me. Until there’s nothing left and I’ll be free.

And I’ll hug your words like they’re the last things I’ll ever hold.

Lord, please transform this worldly brokenness into actions that will praise you.
