• Don't laugh at the spinsters, dear girls, for often very tender, tragic romances are hidden away in the hearts that beat so quietly under the sober gowns, and many silent sacrifices of youth, health, ambition, love itself, make the faded faces beautiful in God's sight.

• There are ways in, journeys to the center of life, through time; through air, matter, dream and thought.

And always, in this search, a person might find that she is already there, at the center of the world. It may be a broken world, but it is glorious nonetheless.

• Be true to Love.
  Do not betray Her.
  Then, on the day
  that the forest of the mind
  bursts into flames,
  you will not run.
  You will remain silent and still;
  for this is when Love bears
  Her sweetest fruit:
  untouched Presence.
