-It was but yesterday I thought mt self a fragment quivering
without rhythm in the sphere of life.
Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic
fragments moves within me.
-They say to me in their awakening, "You and the world you
live in are but a grain of sand upon the infinite shore of an
infinite sea."
And in my dream I say to them, "I am the infinite sea, and
all worlds are but grain of sand upon my shore."
-When God threw me, a pebble, into this wondrous lake
I disturbed its surface with countless circles.
But when I reached the depth I became very still.
-Once I knew a man whose ears were exceedingly keen,
but he was dumb. He had lost his tongue in a battle.
I knew now what battles that man fought before the great
silence came. I am glad he is dead.
The world is not large enough for two of us.
-Remembrance is a form of meeting.
-We measure time according to the countless movement of
countless suns; and they measure time by little machines in
their little pockets.
Now tell me, how could we ever meet at the same place
and the same time?
