The sun is for me everything that the sky is for him.
I can never look now at the Milky Way without wondering from which of those banked clouds of stars the emissaries are coming. If you will pardon so commonplace a simile, we have set off the fire alarm and have nothing to do but to wait.
I do not think we will have to wait for long.
The moon lives in the lining of your skin.
Look round at the courses of the stars, as if thou wert going along with them; and constantly consider the changes of the elements into one another; for such thoughts purge away the filth of the terrene life.
Clouds signify the veil of the Most High.
The darkest night that ever fell upon the earth never hid the light, never put out the stars. It only made the stars more keenly, kindly glancing, as if in protest against the darkness.
It is a luck to live in this world, looking at a flower, a passing cloud, listening to a bird, the whisper of the spikes in a cornfield, admiring peoples traits, their tendencies, their secret breath.
You will understand that the sky is beautiful because at last it gives roof to a world full of fears and tears.
We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
Complaint is the largest tribute heaven receives.
