“This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”

“Love comes with a knife, not some shy question, and not with fears for its reputation!”

“There came one and knocked at the door of the Beloved.”

“Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets, and takes its own punishment in silence.”

“Is it true; is it kind, or is it necessary?”

“No human being will ever know the truth, for even if they happened to say it by chance, they would not know they had done so.”
