“You will not be a mystic until you are like the earth—
both the righteous and the sinner tread upon it—
and until you are like the clouds—
they shade all things—
and until you are like the rain—
it waters all things,
whether it loves them or not.”
― Bayazid Bistami

“I do not want to live.
I want to love and then to live,
incidentally.”
― Zelda Fitzgerald

“Know thyself.” Sure, of course,
you must. But afterwards,
the project is to make yourself
a stranger to yourself once more.”
― John Brehm
