“Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.”
― L.R. Knost

“A mariposa, atraída pela luz do deslumbre de sua lâmpada noturna, está condenada a perecer no azeite viscoso. A alma incauta, que não logra travar tal luta com o demônio burlão da ilusão, retornará a este mundo como escravo do Desejo.
Olha as hostes das Almas. Vê como elas pairam sobre o mar tempestuoso da vida humana. E como, exaustas, sangrando, de asas quebradas, vão caindo, uma após a outra, nas ondas encapeladas. Batidas pelos ventos ferozes, perseguidas pelos vendavais, são arrastadas paras os sorvedouros fatais e somem pelo primeiro vórtice que encontram. Se passando pela Sala da Sabedoria pretendes chegar ao Vale da Felicidade, fecha, discípulo, os teus sentidos á grande e cruel heresia da Separação, que é aquela que te aparta dos demais homens. Tomara que aquilo que em ti é de Origem Divina não se separe, arrastando-te para o mundano mar de Ilusão (...)”

“The worst grotesque situations: believing one knows oneself, believing one knows everything about some topic, believing one has judged with absolute impartiality, believing one will love and be loved forever. In conversation, people think one thing and, in trying to communicate it, say something else. The interlocutor hears one thing, but understands something different. When answering, one does not respond to what the other person initially thought, nor to what the other person said, but to what one has understood. The final result: a conversation between deaf people who do not even know how to listen to themselves.”

“A benefit of friendship is knowing whom to tell secrets to.”
― Alessandro Manzoni
