"You do not know how much they mean to me, my friends,
And how, how rare and strange it is, to find
In a life composed so much, so much of odds and ends…
To find a friend who has these qualities,
Who has, and gives
Those qualities upon which friendship lives."

"Life can only be understood backwards, but it has to be lived forwards."

Don’t go back to sleep."
"When you face a challenge truly, there is no thought.
There is just the looking…you see what needs to be solved at that moment, and that looking is fierce and gentle at the same time.
And there is an activation of a greater intelligence than whatever you have learned."
"We’ve all lead raucous lives,
some of them inside, some of them out.
But only the poem you leave behind is what’s important…
The voyage into the interior is all that matters"
"The earthly paradise is where I am."
"Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life."
"Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them."
