“Little houses in a row,
Down a quiet lane;
Neither doors nor windows know,
Peace and darkness reign.
Though you cannot pay the rent,
You will dwell there with the best.
Where the weary, broken, spent,
Find eternal rest!”

“I cannot sleep for dreaming; I cannot dream but I wake and walk about the house as though I'd find you comin' through the door.”

“[On why criminals rob nice-looking houses] You come up on a house where the grass is this tall, and there's a dog chained to the clothesline, and a motor swinging in the tree, buddy, that's a house where a gun lives! And you want to find out what kind it is, just crawl through the window after dark.”

“You do not have to sit outside in the dark. If, however, you want to look at the stars, you will find that darkness is necessary. But the stars neither require nor demand it.”

“Without trust, there can be no genuine peace. Neither in politics, nor in the quiet individuality of the heart and spirit.”

“When God closes a door, he opens a window, but it's up to you to find it.”

“In darkness is where we truly find ourselves, in light we only find others and in others you cannot find yourself.”

“: Don't be afraid nor too weak of doing, dreaming and hoping for the best. Even though you know that life will give you the worst outcomes at the end of the day. One day, the door of success will be widely open and patiently waiting for you to enter through it.”

“Do you know the best thing about broken hearts? They can only really break once the rest is just scratches.”

“If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.”
