The poets are only the interpreters of the Gods.

Every poem is a momentary stay against the confusion of the world.

Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call thee friend who art my lord.

The Saints were not superhuman. They were people who loved God in their hearts, and who shared this joy with others.

I obey Thee Lord, first for the love I ought, in all reason to bear Thee; secondly for that Thou canst shorten or prolong the lives of men.

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
