Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.

Praise God for these two insomnias!
And the difference between them.

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 the mirror as well as the face in it.
We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We are pain
and what cures pain, both. We are
the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.

I want to hold you close like a lute,
so we can cry out with loving.

You would rather throw stones at a mirror?
I am your mirror, and here are the stones.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi

Ursula K. Le Guin
“As a boy, Ogion like all boys had thought it would be a very pleasant game to take by art-magic whatever shape one liked, man or beast, tree or cloud, and so to play at a thousand beings. But as a wizard he had learned the price of the game, which is the peril of losing one's self, playing away the truth. The longer a man stays in a form not his own, the greater this peril. Every prentice-sorcerer learns the tale of the wizard Bordger of Way, who delighted in taking bear's shape, and did so more and more often until the bear grew in him and the man died away, and he became a bear, and killed his own little son in the forests, and was hunted down and slain. And no one knows how many of the dolphins that leap in the waters of the Inmost Sea were men once, wise men, who forgot their wisdom and their name in the joy of the restless sea.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Yet a greater, unlearned skill he possessed, which was the art of kindness.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

Richard Bach
“You gave your life to become you are right now. Was it worth it?”
Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Only in silence the word, only in dark the light, only in dying life: bright the hawk's flight on the empty sky.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea
