“Use your eyes: observe all things as they are. Don't place a twig in the path of an ant or whistle with the bird. Instead hear the voice of that bird, watch the walk of that ant. If you do, you'll truly know its nature.”

“Well,” said the frog, “what are you going to do about it?” “Marrying Therandil? I don’t know. I’ve tried talking to my parents, but they won’t listen, and neither will Therandil.” “I didn’t ask what you’d said about it,” the frog snapped. “I asked what you’re going to do. Nine times out of ten, talking is a way of avoiding doing things.”

“A soul is the very essence of being. It's what goes on in your head and in your heart, that knows the difference between right and wrong, that has wants and needs and desires. It is the soul that reflects, the soul that perceives the beauty of the world, that loves and feels. The soul is who you are.”
― Elsie V. Aidinoff
