- As you see yourself, I once saw myself;
as you see me now, you will be seen.

as birth is for that which is dead.
Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.
- Even as a great fish swims along the two banks of a river,
first along the eastern bank and then the western bank,
in the same way the Spirit of man moves along beside his two dwellings:
this waking world and the land of sleep and dreams.
- The big secret in life is that there is no big secret.
Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work.

- The criterion of true beauty is that it increases on examination;
if false, that it lessens. There is therefore, something in true beauty that
corresponds with right reason, and is not the mere creation of fancy.
- Faults are thick where love is thin.

- For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.
