  • Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
  • Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.
  • Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow man.
  • For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
  • Life is indeed darkness save when there is urge, and all urge is blind save when there is knowledge, and all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love.
