“「Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.」”

“「Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it.」”

“「One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste.」”

“「I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.」”
