The life of a flower is longing and fulfilment. A tear and a smile.

There is a space between man's imagination and man's attainment that may only be traversed by his longing.

A root is a flower that disdains fame.

Your children are not your children. / They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

Oh, heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

Smile, my beloved, like the gold smiles from my father's coffers.
