“Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away... and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.... and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.”

“من أعجب الأشياء أن تعرف الله ثم لا تحبه, وأن تسمع داعيه ثم تتأخر عن الإجابة, وأن تعرف قدر الربح في معاملته، ثم تعامل غيره, وأن تعرف قدر غضبه ثم تتعرض له, وأن تذوق ألم الوحشة في معصيته، ثم لا تطلب الأنس بطاعته, وأن تذوق عصرة القلب عند الخوض في غير حديثه والحديث عنه، ثم لا تشتاق إلى انشراح الصدر بذكره ومناجاته, وأن تذوق العذاب عند تعلق القلب بغيره ولا تهرب منه إلى نعيم الإقبال عليه، والإنابة إليه, وأعجب من هذا علمك أنك لابد لك منه وأنك أحوج شيء إليه، وأنت عنه معرض وفيما يبعدك عنه راغب”
