Quote

I want a trouble-maker for a lover, Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame, Who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate, Who burns like fire on the rushing sea.

To wander in the fields of flowers, pull the thorns from your heart.

This discipline and rough treatment are a furnace to extract the silver from the dross. This testing purifies the gold by boiling the scum away.

Let silence take you to the core of life.

Through love scraps of copper are turned to gold.
