“I do so dearly believe that no half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.”

“We must set aside our wishes and give heed to reality. Nobody can accept the truth while hiding from it. When a decision matters, we have to stare at the truth unflinchingly. Only then can we find peace in our choices.”

“Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.”

“The destinies of men are woven one with the other, and you can turn aside from them no more than you can turn aside from your own.”

“Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.”

“For me this world was neither so high nor so low as the Church would have it; chequered over with its wild light shadows, I could love it and all the children of it, more dearly, perhaps, because it was not all light.”

“Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire.”

“In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left.
While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune,
A mantle of bright light shone down from a room.”

“The believers have four signs: good humor, tactfulness, kind heartedness and openhandedness”

“But the true voyagers are only those who leave
Just to be leaving; hearts light, like balloons,
They never turn aside from their fatality
And without knowing why they always say: "Let's go!”
