“It is not a gathering of 'escapees' from the world, bitterly enjoying their escape, feeding their hate for the world. Listen to their psalms and hymns; contemplate the transparent beauty of their icons, their movements, of the entire *celebration.

“It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal.

Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor.”
“It is not a large world. Relatively even to this world of ours, which has its limits too (as your Highness shall find when you have made the tour of it and are come to the brink of the void beyond), it is a very little speck. There is much good in it; there are many good and true people in it; it has its appointed place. But the evil of it is that it is a world wrapped up in too much jeweller’s cotton and fine wool, and cannot hear the rushing of the larger worlds, and cannot see them as they circle round the sun. It is a deadened world, and its growth is sometimes unhealthy for want of air.”

“It is not a lover's job to make sense,
Lover's role is to humanize all senses.
Role of animal senses is to stay contained,
Role of human senses is to extend themselves.
To sense the sense is nonsense,
To sense nonsense is ultimate sense of all.
This is possible only when you are lost,
This is possible only when you are in love.
All five senses
are of no worth,
If you don't have
that one sense,
the sense of love.
Sense yourself till
you sense nothing but love.
Break yourself till each crack reflects
the infinity of the heart.
Each of us is an explorer of infinity,
Yet we are trapped in vain by insecurity.
Wake up to love and you'll see,
all cages are fiction,
cooked up by knee-deep sanity.”
