“Love is a vision, a firefly that majestically glows in the night for some time; then, it winks at you and swiftly disappears.”

“Images, memories, fragmentary shapes and forms — all those sensations, visions, half-thoughts that appear and disappear in the wink of an eye, as one sets forth to meet…. The path also disappears as I think of it, as I say it.”

“There are one hundred glow-stars on my bedroom ceiling. (…) Glow-stars are strange. They make the ceiling disappear.”

“You are the sun, you make me shine, or more like the stars, that twinkle at night. You are the moon that glows in my heart. You're my daytime, my night-time, my world…you are my life.”

“How swiftly you dismiss our love…”

“Whenever we attain a higher vision, the lower vision disappears of itself.”

“And for just a fleeting moment, a tiny wisp of time that hung in the air like fireflies
in summer skies, she wondered if she was in love with him again.”

“You will never see these lights
Glowing in your nights
If you don't know
And there are roses growing in the snow.”

“Before, beside us, and above
The firefly lights his lamp of love.”

“The planet has seen many changes. It has appeared and disappeared many times. It flickers off and on -- but because of the intervals of your attention each on period seems to last for millions of years, of course, while at other levels the earth is like a firefly, flickering off and on.”
