Quotes

You left and I cried tears of
blood. My sorrow grows. Its not
just that You left. But when You
left my eyes went with You. Now,
how will I cry? The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. We are born of love; Love is our mother. Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom. The garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy. Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh. Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees. Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend. When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues. Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. |
