Be your note.”

"You suppose you are the trouble
But you are the cure

Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours."
"Only from the heart Can you touch the sky."
"People of the world don't look at themselves, and so they blame one another."
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
