“If someone told me that I could live my life again free of depression provided I was willing to give up the gifts depression has given me–the depth of awareness, the expanded consciousness, the increased sensitivity, the awareness of limitation, the tenderness of love, the meaning of friendship, the apreciation of life, the joy of a passionate heart–I would say, ‘This is a Faustian bargain! Give me my depressions. Let the darkness descend. But do not take away the gifts that depression, with the help of some unseen hand, has dredged up from the deep ocean of my soul and strewn along the shores of my life. I can endure darkness if I must; but I cannot lie without these gifts. I cannot live without my soul.’ (p. 188)”

“I’m not a body with a soul, I’m a soul that has a visible part called the body.”

“Souls of love breathlessly sailTowards our time when hours failTo cope with longing here we areChasing the speed of a falling starMiles and miles fleetly we goDown to the ocean, deeper the flowWaves now know their crushing tide Splashing between joy and pride”

“Don’t let your dreams, that your soul so craves, slip away from you. The time is now. Find your dreams.”

“I cannot believe the path to victory lies in staining our souls so black we become indistinguishable from those we fight.”

“Dear soul,am I only because I have been?”

“We’re meant for each other for a moment, but no one knows how long the moment lasts except the moment itself.”

“A true romance is not something that happens between the skins. It is something that burns our souls beautifully and leaves us craving to be destroyed even more.”

“Take time to feed your soul and keep the mind-body-spirit connection strong.”

“The day your souls see their faces or smell their memories in someone else’s stories, and doesn’t bleed anymore. You know, you have healed.”

“Many times, a moment can turn your soul waves to welcoming, sunny shores.And in that moment, all you have to do is to let yourself in the arms of the Destiny, carried away of the endless time feeling, without more other searches…”

“O the joy of my spirit–it is uncaged–it darts like lightning!It is not enough to have this globe or a certain time,I will have thousands of globes and all time.”

“Not too long ago thousands spent their lives as recluses to find spiritual vision in the solitude of nature. Modern man need not become a hermit to achieve this goal, for it is neither ecstasy nor world-estranged mysticism his era demands, but a balance between quantitative and qualitative reality. Modern man, with his reduced capacity for intuitive perception, is unlikely to benefit from the contemplative life of a hermit in the wilderness. But what he can do is to give undivided attention, at times, to a natural phenomenon, observing it in detail, and recalling all the scientific facts about it he may remember. Gradually, however, he must silence his thoughts and, for moments at least, forget all his personal cares and desires, until nothing remains in his soul but awe for the miracle before him. Such efforts are like journeys beyond the boundaries of narrow self-love and, although the process of intuitive awakening is laborious and slow, its rewards are noticeable from the very first. If pursued through the course of years, something will begin to stir in the human soul, a sense of kinship with the forces of life consciousness which rule the world of plants and animals, and with the powers which determine the laws of matter. While analytical intellect may well be called the most precious fruit of the Modern Age, it must not be allowed to rule supreme in matters of cognition. If science is to bring happiness and real progress to the world, it needs the warmth of man’s heart just as much as the cold inquisitiveness of his brain.”

“I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am, also, much more than that. So are we all.”

“If we could just look into the SOUL of another human being, and not look at the color of their skin, see past their religious beliefs, we would surely see that the same GOD resides within us all”
