Faith is an oasis in the heart which can never be reached by the caravan of thinking
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
Some think I wink at them when I shut my eyes to avoid their sight.
Thinking is always the stumbling stone to poetry.
You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet; you may even throw me into a dark prison; but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free!
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.
