Work for Your Freedom
"Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn it? They fall and falling, they're given wings."
Sincere One
"Within tears, find hidden laughter. Seek treasures amid ruins, sincere one."
Free of Desire
"All people on the planet are children, except for a very few. No one is grown up except those free of desire."
Freedom
"Take someone who doesn't keep score, who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing, who has not the slightest interest even in his own personality: he's free."
This is Love
"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet."
Fly Up Like Doves
"People want you to be happy. Don't keep serving them your pain! If you could untie your wings and free your soul of jealousy, you and everyone around you would fly up like doves."
Why do You Stay in Prison?
"Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?"
Dance
"Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free."
