"When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter. The body is an old crock that nobody will miss. I have never known a man to think of himself when dying. Never."
"Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason; some come to learn and others come to teach."
"The arms of love encompass you with your present, your past, your future, the arms of love gather you together."
"You risk tears if you let yourself be tamed."
"For instance, if you come at four in the afternoon, I'll begin to be happy by three. The closer it gets to four, the happier I'll feel. By four I'll be excited and worried; I'll discover what it costs to be happy! But if you come at any od time, I'll never know when I should prepare my heart... There must be rites."
"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."
"When someone blushes, doesn't that mean 'yes'?"
"I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed."
