Rabindranath Tagore
My heart, the bird of the wilderness, has found its sky in your eyes. They are the cradle of the morning, they are the kingdom of the stars. My songs are lost in their depths. Let me but soar in that sky, in its lonely immensity. Let me but cleave its clouds and spread wings in its sunshine.
Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore
Death belongs to life as birth does The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down

Rabindranath Tagore
Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization.
Rabindranath Tagore
This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new.
Rabindranath Tagore
Death is turning out the lamp because the dawn has appeared.
Rabindranath Tagore
Be brave, right through, and leave for the unknown.
Rabindranath Tagore
Saltwater heals, healing referring to its various forms tears, cleanses and heals the soul sweat, cleanses through labor the ocean, heals in all its forms.
Rabindranath Tagore
When we accept any discipline for ourselves, we try to avoid everything except that which is necessary for our purpose it is this purposefulness, which belongs to the adult mind, that we force upon school children. We say, Never keep your mind aler.
Rabindranath Tagore
Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.
Rabindranath Tagore
