...our happiness hinges not on good luck; it hinges on peace of heart Picture Quote #1

The experience of love and the experience of death destroy the illusion of our self-sufficiency. The two are closely connected, and to become fully human we must experience both of them Picture Quote #1

Solitude without togetherness deteriorates into loneliness. One needs strong roots in togetherness to be solitary rather than lonely when one is alone Picture Quote #1

Truth is something we discover by carrying it out. It is not a list of statements, but a direction of life Picture Quote #1

Each string of a wind harp responds with a different note to the same breeze. What activity makes you personally resonate most strongly, most deeply? Picture Quote #1
