“Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.”

“How I go to the wood
Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single
friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore
unsuitable.
I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds
or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of
praying, as you no doubt have yours.
Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit
on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds,
until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost
unhearable sound of the roses singing.
If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love
you very much.”
― Swan: Poems and Prose Poems

“Защо светът е хубав! Много е хубав дори! Очарователна работа! Неизразима! Или в человека има нещо, което тъй неудържимо го влече към света? Нещо, което като семе израства в душата му, още от бебе невръстно, месец след месец, година след година, и накрай го привързва съдбовно? Кой знай... Затуй може би и ти ся иска да го обикаляш, да променяш местата - че тъй го опознаеш. Сякаш та сама природа към туй тласка. В път, в прешествие, в друго поприще... Не знам защо и как, и противно на сякоя проницателна и мрачна мисъл, но тук да си е щастие голямо! Ала трябва и да си свободен. Светът е за свободните направен. Сам Господ, казват, го е направил тъй, от свобода. И само свободните могат да му се насладят. А человеците често тънат в робство и туй наричат свой живот. Какво нещастие, каква поквара на блажений свят!”

“In Vietnamese, the word for missing someone and remembering them is the same: nhớ. Sometimes, when you ask me over the phone, Có nhớ mẹ không? I flinch, thinking you meant, Do you remember me?
I miss you more than I remember you.”
