If you gaze for long into an abyss,
The abyss also gazes
Back into you.

Faith is not wanting
To know
What is true.

Sleeping is no mean art:
For its sake one must
Stay awake all day.

I would believe only
In a God that knows
How to Dance.

Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth
As a raven, which is inspired
By the smell of carrion?

Fanatics are picturesque,
We would rather see gestures
Than listen to reasons.

In heaven,
All the interesting people
Are missing.

It is not a lack of love,
But a lack of friendship
That makes unhappy marriages.
- - - - - - - - - -
The things which
Do not kill us
Make us stronger.

There is more wisdom
In your body
Than in your deepest philosophy.
Wow.
