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.

A Writer's Holiday
Walking is blind, even toward a clear horizon.
The oyster never felt so free as when a thief stole her pearl.
Some leaves hang on longer but eventually they all fall.
A forecast can be wrong, but not the weather.
What does introspection mean? It means you're looking in the wrong direction.
Life corrects the errors of logic.
The scientist seeks laws; the historian, causes; the artist, freedom.
Writer's block is a writer's holiday.
To board that slow train called Life and ride it to the end.
Being awake is no different than sleeping if all you do is dream.
Digging, one finds more rocks than gold.
The sea is captive in a drop of water.
In the end, it's the poet's voice that will be heard.

The Gardener's Thoughts
Could I master the language I'd speak only silence.
No one can think clearly who thinks only with their head.
The moon is always full, though you can't always see it.
Many a petal has yet to fall before the last one falls.
A wave is no less free because the current helps it along.
Rain or shine, the cicadas find something to sing about.
Flowers are the gardener's thoughts.
When you win an argument, what do you win?
The world makes sense to those who don't try to make sense of it.
Even to have lived in vain is beautiful.
If my hand on yours trembles it's because bodies never lie.
Not trying makes everything easy.
When you chop life into little pieces you don't get pieces of life.
Don't stand in the hallway waiting; join the feast.
