"A soulmate is a direct pathway to God."

"Our daily prayer ought to be: Please universe, help me help myself and help me show others how to help themselves."

"Share yourself with me. I will never judge you. I am here and I will stay here only to love you."

"I think falling in love is like discovering the magic of books. You think to yourself, 'how was I living before this?"

"I never wanted to be a martyr—even for love. I don’t want to die for love. I want to live for it."

"Why do you feel so powerless? Go spend an hour with ants. Each of those black specks you see is a life. One whole life that you can save, take, or affect in some way. You have the power to make so many lives better. It is within you. Don’t lose sight of that."

"And then one day you realise that if you want to be rich, you'd have to give away almost everything you own."

"For me,you are fresh waterthat falls from treeswhen it has stopped raining. For me, you are cinnamon that lingers on the tongue and givesbitter wordssweetening.For me, you are the scent of violins and visionof valleys smiling.And still,for me, your loveliness never ends.It traverses the worldand finds its way back to me.Only me."

"A man's shortcoming lies in the belief that he must always assert his manliness. A woman's shortcoming lies in the belief that she must always repress it."

"These poems are cupsthat I pour my love into.Here, Drink!"

"How is it that there was never youuntil there wasand then all was you?"

"I left the bankbecause they wouldn’t deposit my cheque of poems.So I went to the store,but they didn’t acceptmy currency of words.So I boxed all my storiesand took them to charity.But they refused my donation and asked me to give blood instead.I opened the notebooks and made them look, 'What do you think I wrote these in?"
