True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.
From Nikos Kazantzakis
My entire soul is a cry, and all my work is a commentary on that cry.
May God forgive me, but the letters of the alphabet frighten me terribly. They are sly, shameless demons - and dangerous! You open the inkwell, release them; they run off - and how will you ever get control of them again!
The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all darkness.
Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality.
Everything in this world has a hidden meaning.
I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.
God hates a half-devil ten times more than an arch-devil!
Happiness is a simple everyday miracle, like water, and we are not aware of it.
A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free.
