"Music, such music, is a sufficient gift. Why ask for happiness; why hope not to grieve? It is enough, it is to be blessed enough, to live from day to day and to hear such music-not too much, or the soul could not sustain it-from time to time."
"I thought of the soul as resembling a castle, formed of a single diamond or a very transparent crystal, and containing many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions."
"All human souls, never so bedarkened, love light; light once kindled spreads till all is luminous."
"Brit: What's your major? Alex: Chemistry. And yours? Brit: Chemistry. Kiss me so we can see if we still have it. 'Cause you own my heart, my soul, and everything else in between."

"It is unpardonable conceit not to laugh at your own jokes. Joking is undignified; that is why it is so good for one's soul. Do not fancy you can be a detached wit and avoid being a buffoon; you cannot. If you are the Court Jester you must be the Court Fool."

And even if we should attempt such an ontological procedure, some idea of the Being of the whole must be presupposed."
"If you're facing what looks like a large problem, receive it as a compliment from the Universe. What a great soul you must be!"
"Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune."
