1 " Un-winged and naked, sorrow surrenders its crown to a throne called grace. "
― Aberjhani , The River of Winged Dreams

4 " Where humanitysowed faith, hope, and unity, joy’s garden blossomed. "
5 " Rainer Maria Rilke greeted and wrestled with the angels of his Duino Elegies in the solitude of a castle surrounded by white cliffs tall trees and the sea. I greeted most of mine in the solitude of a house that still vibrated with the throbs of a singular life that had helped shape many lives and with the ache of attempts to render useful service to that life. The River of Winged Dreams was therefore constructed as a link between dimensions of past and future emotions and intellect and matter and spirit. "

16 " The death of a dream can in fact serve as the vehicle that endows it with new form, with reinvigorated substance, a fresh flow of ideas, and splendidly revitalized color. In short, the power of a certain kind of dream is such that death need not indicate finality at all but rather signify a metaphysical and metaphorical leap forward. "
17 " Compassion crowns the soul with its truest victory. "
18 " Your pain is a school unto itself–– and your joy a lovely temple. "
19 " In the days when hyenas of hate suckle the babes of men, and jackals of hypocrisy pimp their mothers’ broken hearts, may children not look to demons of ignorance for hope. "
20 " Hope drowned in shadowsemerges fiercely splendid––boldly angelic. "
