Every Flower Is The Rose

Lovers jump into bed without thinking.  That's the only way it can be done.

A cup that was spilling over still wanted more.

We all talk to ourselves.  Those we call mad just talk a little louder.

The difference between an ocean and a desert is Time.

Art is made out of pieces of ourselves.

Boredom is peace misunderstood.

To one who loves birds, morning always wakes up singing.

In dreams and stories we rearrange our lives.

Good reasons do not exist for poisoning the water supply.

A few stones that hit rock bottom found a home there.

The log on the fire: is it dreaming of the forest?

Every side attacks you when you don't take sides.

Make your life beautiful, you're the only one who can.

Remember: every flower is the rose.

Wild Horses And Toads

He who is not an enigma to himself doesn't know himself.

Now that I no longer think I find words for all my thoughts.

No longer to pretend to know, or even guess, what shapes human destinies, human lives.

No lily cares if it's the first.

For lack of love one does a million other things.

We tame wild horses, and worse make it a crime to be one.

Dreams were the first movies.

Now that we know war is absurd there are more wars than ever.

A toad can dream of outrunning a train.

One learns by doing, not by learning to do.

First there must be flowers; then you can arrange them.

A new theory doesn't change the way things actually happen.

The classical is what you praise: the romantic is what you love.

Truth is an outlaw in every country.

You don't have to die to be resurrected.

Walking Toward The Sea

Unless you're walking your thoughts will get you nowhere.

The life you have is richer than the one you dream of.

Heart to heart talks have been my mistresses.

Whenever I do nothing I feel I've accomplished a lot.

In my basket there's always room for something new.

Information is what you put in empty heads to keep them empty.

If you want to set your life in order, consider it already done.

Ask the wave as it withdraws what freedom is.

The wrong step is the right step once you take it.

Knowing how to sing, and being able to sing, is still not singing.

Nothing succeeds like indifference to success.

Thirst is a language even the grass understands.

Another person: a door you can't enter, even by knocking.

You have to test your oars in the waters of reality.

Future developments can't mar our happiness now.

The only tame lion is the one that has tamed itself.

When I walk toward the sea I know the sea will be there waiting for me.

Here's what I've learned: there's more than one way to live.

Truth Is A Bubble...

Carpenters are paid to build houses, not to explain how houses are built.

Expect the hill and the valley to see things differently.

The moon you see is not the moon you saw.

I don't want to be the one who says life is beautiful. I want to be the one who feels it.

Beginnings do not divulge their ends.

The love of life begins with the love of one person.

Every drop that falls in the ocean becomes the ocean.

We learn from our possessions that they're never enough.

Forgive me my foolish beliefs, as I forgive your foolish beliefs.

Truth is a bubble and hard to hold on to.

Even the camel with its huge nostrils can only take one breath at a time.

To be this happy, friendly person, that's all.

Artists pass on their dreams.
