“The ground’s generosity takes in our compost and grows beauty! Try to be more like the ground.”

Like a shadow, I am and I am not.

There is little one can say about love. It has to be lived, and it’s always in motion.

I once had a thousand desires. But in my one desire to know you all else melted away.

Pain is a treasure, for it contains mercies.

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.

The universe and the light of the stars come through me.

The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.

Respond to every call that excites your spirit.

Love is the whole thing. We are only pieces.

Look for the answer inside your question.

Love comes with a knife, not some shy question, and not with fears for its reputation!

I would love to kiss you. The price of kissing is your life.

The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.

My lips got lost on the way to the kiss – that’s how drunk I was.

When the light returns to its source, it takes nothing of what it has illuminated.

As you awaken to your divine nature, you’ll begin to appreciate beauty in everything you see, touch and experience.

I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.

Beauty might bring happiness, but happiness always brings beauty.

Beauty is nothing, beauty won’t stay. You don’t know how lucky you are to be ugly, because if people like you, you know it’s for something else.

To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty.

Beauty has no obvious use; nor is there any clear cultural necessity for it. Yet civilization could not do without it.

Sometimes you gotta be beauty and a beast.

Mountains are giant, restful, absorbent. You can heave your spirit into a mountain and the mountain will keep it, folded, and not throw it back as some creeks will. The creeks are the world with all its stimulus and beauty; I live there. But the mountains are home.
