“Do you know why swallows build in the eaves of houses? It is to listen to the stories.”

“When men were scattered over the earth, protected by eaves or by the dug-out shelter of a cliff or by the trunk of a hollow tree, it was philosophy that taught them to build houses.”

“Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house, a world; and beyond its world a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you: build, therefore, your own world.”

“Why do people build houses to keep the climate out, then cut holes in the walls to let it in again? I shall never understand.”

“Ah me, why did they build my house by the road to the market town?”

“Listen to people's stories and they all could be entitled "Why I Cannot Be At Peace Now" The ego doesn't know that your only opportunity for being at peace is now.”

“We're building a house of the future together.
(What would we do without you?)”

“Listen to the flute it tells you a story' A story of nostalgia and separation.”

“Even the silence
has a story to tell you.
Just listen. Listen.”

“Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it.”
