ولمّا فتحت قلبي لكي ارى السعادة, وجدت مرآتها وسريرها وملابسه... - Kahlil Gibran

"Wenn [der Lehrer] wirklich weise ist, fordert er euch nicht auf, ins Haus seiner Weisheit einzutreten, sondern führt euch an die Schwelle eures eigenen Geistes."

"I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy."

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy"

"No human relation gives one possession in another—every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone."

"Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,That we may record our emptiness."
