More on Love
“When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace, love, prosperity, happiness... all the good things.”
“Love' is the name for our pursuit of wholeness, for our desire to be complete.”
“Look not at the face, young girl, look at the heart. The heart of a handsome young man is often deformed. There are hearts in which love does not keep. Young girl, the pine is not beautiful; it is not beautiful like the poplar, but it keeps its foliage in winter.”
More on Transience
“As for life, it is a battle and a sojourning in a strange land; but the fame that comes after is oblivion.”
“Or is it your reputation that's bothering you? But look at how soon we're all forgotten. The abyss of endless time that swallows it all. The emptiness of those applauding hands. The people who praise us; how capricious they are, how arbitrary. And the tiny region it takes place. The whole earth a point in space - and most of it uninhabited.”
“If man reflects on the changes and transformations which follow one another like wave after wave and their rapidity, he will despise everything which is perishable.”
