Your daily life is your temple and your religion. Whenever you enter into it take with you your all.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

In their fear your forefathers gathered you too near together. And that fear shall endure a little longer. A little longer shall your city walls separate your hearths from your fields.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Shall the day of parting be the day of gathering?

The journey only truly ends when the hero is conquered.

Muhakkak ki butun insanlarin birer ruhu vardi, ama bircogu bunun farkinda degildi ve gene farkinda olmadan geldikleri yere gideceklerdi. Bir ruh, ancak bir benzerini buldugu zaman ve bize, bizim aklimiza, hesaplarimiza danismaya luzum bile gormeden, meydana cikiyordu... Biz ancak o zaman sahiden yasamaya - ruhumuzla yasamaya - basliyorduk. O zaman butun tereddutler, hicaplar bir tarafa birakiliyor, ruhlar birbirleriyle kucaklasmak icin, her seyi cigneyerek, birbirine kosuyordu.

Insanlar birbirlerini tanimanin ne kadar guc oldugunu bildikleri icin bu zahmetli ise tesebbus etmektense, korler gibi rastgele dolasmayi ve ancak carpistikca birbirlerinin mevcudiyetinden haberdar olmayi tercih ediyorlar.

Nedense, hayatta bir muddet beraber yurudugumuz insanlarin basina bir felaket geldigini, herhangi bir sikintiya dustuklerini gorunce bu belalari kendi basimizdan savmis gibi ferahlik duyar ve o zavallilara, sanki bize de gelebilecek belalari kendi ustlerine cektikleri icin, alaka ve merhamet gostermek isteriz.

Though I really do not know where I go and I have forgotten from where I come, I will remember you.
