Antoine de Saint-Exup?ry, Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939, translated from French by Lewis Galanti?re
What he had yearned to embrace was not the flesh but a downy spirit, a spark, the impalpable angel that inhabits the flesh.
Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin
I believe that the soul consists of its sufferings. For the soul that cures its own sufferings dies.
Carl Jung

Geoffrey Fisher
Until you know that life is interesting - and find it so - you haven't found your soul.
Henry David Thoreau

Horace
Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
When you do things from your soul you feel a river moving in you, a joy. When action come from another section, the feeling disappears.
John Greenleaf Whittier, My Psalm
The windows of my soul I throwWide open to the sun.
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, 1923
Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth." Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path." For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
Lord Byron
One certainly has a soul; but how it came to allow itself to be enclosed in a body is more than I can imagine. I only know if once mine gets out, I'll have a bit of a tussle before I let it get in again to that of any other.
Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar, Following the Equator, 1897
Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.
Martha Graham
You see, when weaving a blanket, an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving of that blanket to let the soul out.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
The soul may sleep and the body still be happy, but only in youth.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
Confession is good for the conscience, but it usually bypasses the soul.
Octave Mirbeau
When one tears away the veils and shows them naked, people's souls give off such a pungent smell of decay.
Oscar Wilde
How strange a thing this is! The Priest telleth me that the Soul is worth all the gold in the world, and the merchants say that it is not worth a clipped piece of silver.
Timothy Leary
Learning how to operate a soul figures to take time.
Vincent Van Gogh
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way.
