The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy

...and your body is the harp of your soul, and it is yours to bring forth sweet music or confused sounds.

Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
