“Free from attachments to the past and worries about the future, a child expresses him/herself fully.”

Crying to God for five minutes is equal to one hour of meditation.

Lessen the quantity of unnecessary thoughts and allow more space for the energy of love to flow within you.

Look carefully at what is of value in others and respect that.

Love one another without any expectations. Then, there is no need to go anywhere in search of heaven.

It is man who, through his thoughts and actions, creates turmoil and disintegration in the natural, harmonious unity of the world.

Our highest, most important duty in this world is to help our fellow beings.

Loving words and deeds are the best alms.

The beauty and charm of selfless love and service should not die away from the face of this earth. The world should know that a life of dedication is possible, that a life inspired by love and service to humanity is possible.

I sing to the realists, people who accept it like it is. I express problems. There are tears when it’s sad and smiles when it’s happy. It seems simple to me, but for some people, I guess feelin’ takes courage.

Creating characters is just another way to express a type and put that type to use.

What I’m fighting for now in my work… for an expression relevant to all manner of blacks, poems I could take into a tavern, into the street, into the halls of a housing project.

The present is big with the future, the future might be read in the past, the distant is expressed in the near.

It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.

In my judgment an organic machine new to nature never arises, since it always contains an infinity of organs so that it can express, in its own way, the whole universe; indeed, it always contains all past and present times.
