For every seeing soul, there are two absorbing facts - I, and the abyss.

More on Existence
“Tell them dear, that if eyes were made for seeing,Then beauty is its own excuse for being:Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!I never sought to ask, I never knew:But, in my simple ignorance supposeThe selfsame power that brought me there brought you.”
“I rebel; therefore I exist.”
“Everything - a horse, a vine - is created for some duty... For what task, then, were you yourself created?”
More on Self
“Methinks you are my glass, and not my brother: I see by you I am a sweet-faced youth.”
“I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.”
“As the same fire assumes different shapes When it consumes objects differing in shape, So does the one Self take the shape Of every creature in whom he is present.”
