“You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.”

“Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free.”

“Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions; desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary.”

“The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.”

“The greatest intellectual capacities are only found in connection with a vehement and passionate will.”
