"Love is the ark appointed for the righteous...
...which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape.
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment, intuition."
"I died as a mineral and became a plant.
I died as plant and rose to animal.
I died as animal and I was Man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?"
"You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?"
"The idol of your self is the mother of all idols."
"If you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak."
"There is no worse sickness for the soul, O you who are proud...
...than this pretense of perfection."
"By eating meagerly, you become clever and aware.
And by eating gluttonously, you become foolish and idle.
Your being full of misery is entirely from your gluttony.
You will become less miserable if you become a sparse eater."
