A flame must burn somewhere, otherwise no light shines; there is no warmth, nothing.

But what is passion, what are emotions?

There is the source of fire, there is the fullness of energy.

A man who is not on fire is nothing: he is ridiculous, he is two-dimensional.

He must be on fire even if he does make a fool of himself.

A flame must burn somewhere, otherwise no light shines; there is no warmth, nothing.

“I keep looking for one more teacher, only to find that fish learn from water and birds learn from sky. If you want to learn about the sea, it helps to be at sea. If you want to learn about compassion, it helps to be in love. If you want to learn about healing, it helps to know of suffering. The strong live in the storm without worshipping the storm…”

“Love is the ability to hold someone through all their changes, not too tightly but the way the sky holds the sun.”
