"Total knowledge is annihilation Of the desire to see, to touch, to feel The world sensed only through senses And immune to the knowledge without feeling."

"In trying to be perfect, He perfected the art of anonymity, Became imperceptible And arrived nowhere from nowhere."

"Even great men bow before the Sun; it melts hubris into humility."

"Get close to grass and you’ll see a star."

"Life is only a flicker of melted ice."

"To come to nothing through something is the way to outside from both sides."

"Busy with the ugliness of the expensive success We forget the easiness of free beauty Lying sad right around the corner, Only an instant removed, Unnoticed and squandered."

"We forget old stories, but those stories remain the same."

"In every sound, the hidden silence sleeps."

"Everybody talks, but there is no conversation."

"Knighthood lies above eternity; it doesn’t live off fame, but rather deeds."

"They blossomed, they did not talk about blossoming."

"To risk life to save a smile on a face of a woman or a child is the secret of chivalry."

"Since there is no real silence, Silence will contain all the sounds, All the words, all the languages, All knowledge, all memory."

"You are not what you are; You are darkness Looking for light within."

"A breeze, a forgotten summer, a smile, all can fit into a storefront window."

"One hand I extend into myself, the other toward others."

"The deeper thought is, the taller it becomes."

"To hear never-heard sounds, To see never-seen colors and shapes, To try to understand the imperceptible Power pervading the world; To fly and find pure ethereal substances That are not of matter But of that invisible soul pervading reality. To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul; To be a lantern in the darkness Or an umbrella in a stormy day; To feel much more than know. To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a mountain; To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon; To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves; To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching. To be a smile on the face of a woman And shine in her memory As a moment saved without planning."

"“I visited many places, Some of them quite Exotic and far away, But I always returned to myself.”"
