“Only love makes fruitful the soul.”

“A soul can love only another soul. It cannot be turned inward and then expect to love itself.”

“What is happening to me happens to all fruits that grow ripe.
It is the honey in my veins that makes my blood thicker, and my soul quieter.”

“I sadly smiling remember that the flower fades to make fruit, the fruit rots
to make earth.”

“Your children make it impossible to regret your past. They're its finest fruits. Sometimes the only ones.”

“Beside the staff of life,
taken and fashioned from the heavy earth,
beside our marriage, work, and war
the free man, too, will live and grow towards the sun.
Not the ripe fruit alone —
blossom is lovely, too.
Does blossom only serve the fruit,
or does fruit only serve the blossom —
who knows?
But both are given to us.”

“Critical and radical thought will only bear fruit when it is blended with the most precious quality man is endowed with - the love of life”

“Gentleness clears the soul
Love cleans the mind
And makes it Free.”

“If you want to feel the happiness of loving, forget about your soul.
The soul ruins love.
Only in God can the soul meet satisfaction.
Not in another soul.
Only in God — or out of the world.
Souls cannot communicate.
Let your body talk to another body.
Because bodies understand each other, but souls don’t.”

“When the fruit appears the blossom drops off. Love of God is the fruit, and rituals are the blossom.”
