Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.

Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

What you seek is seeking you.

Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.
