When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.

This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

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

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

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

Come, seek, for search is the foundation of fortune: every success depends upon focusing the heart.

Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
