The soul is a burning desire to breathe in this world of light and never to lose it--to remain children of light."

"You came to my life with what you were bringing, made of light and bread and shadow I expected you, and Like this I need you, Like this I love you, and to those who want to hear tomorrow that which I will not tell them, let them read it here, and let them back off today because it is early for these arguments."
