Love is language that cannot be said, or heard.
Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire.

Be foolishly in love, because love is all there is.
There is no way into Presence except through a love exchange.
O, happy the soul that saw its own faults.
There is a fountain inside you. Don't walk around with an empty bucket.
The light which shines in the eye is really the light of the heart.
Close both eyes to see with the other eye.
