I regained my soul through literature after those times I'd lost it to wild-eyed gypsy girls on the European streets.

Seele im Raum
Hier bin ich, hier bin ich, Entrungene,
taumelnd.
Wag ichs denn? Werf ich mich?
Fähige waren schon viel
dort, wo ich drängte. Nun wo
auch noch die Mindesten restlos Macht vollziehn,
schweigend vor Meisterschaft —:
Wag ichs denn ? Werf ich mich?
Zwar ich ertrug, vom befangenen Körper aus,
Nächte; ja, ich befreundete
ihn, den irdenen, mit der Unendlichkeit;
schluchzend
überfloß, das ich hob,
sein schmuckloses Herz.
Aber nun, wem zeig ichs,
daß ich die Seele bin? Wen
wunderts?
Plötzlich soll ich die Ewige sein,
nicht mehr am Gegensatz haftend, nicht mehr
Trösterin; fühlend mit nichts als
Himmeln.
Kaum noch geheim;
denn unter den offenen
allen Geheimnissen eines,
ein ängstliches.
O wie durchgehn sich die großen Umarmungen. Welche
wird mich umfangen, welche mich weiter
geben, mich, linkisch
Umarmende?
Oder vergaß ich und kanns?
Vergaß den erschöpflichen Aufruhr
jener Schwerliebenden? Staun',
stürze aufwärts und kanns?
Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul.

The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.

Two people who are true friends are like two bodies with one soul
Chaim PotokMore learning can occur when there are many obstacles then when thear are few or none. A life with difficult relationships, filled with obstacles and losses, presents the most opportunity for the soul's growth. You may have chosen the more difficult life so that you could accelerate your physical progress

Shakespeare said that art is a mirror held up to nature. And that’s what it is. The nature is your nature, and all of these wonderful poetic images of mythology are referring to something in you. When your mind is trapped by the image out there so that you never make the reference to yourself, you have misread the image.
The inner world is the world of your requirements and your energies and your structure and your possibilities that meets the outer world. And the outer world is the field of your incarnation. That’s where you are. You’ve got to keep both going. As Novalis said, 'The seat of the soul is there where the inner and outer worlds meet.
Am I right in suggesting that ordinary life is a mean between these extremes, that the noble man devotes his material wealth to lofty ends, the advancement of science, or art, or some such true ideal; and that the base man does the opposite by concentrating all his abilities on the amassing of wealth?'
Exactly; that is the real distinction between the artist and the bourgeois, or, if you prefer it, between the gentleman and the cad. Money, and the things money can buy, have no value, for there is no question of creation, but only of exchange. Houses, lands, gold, jewels, even existing works of art, may be tossed about from one hand to another; they are so, constantly. But neither you nor I can write a sonnet; and what we have, our appreciation of art, we did not buy. We inherited the germ of it, and we developed it by the sweat of our brows. The possession of money helped us, but only by giving us time and opportunity and the means of travel. Anyhow, the principle is clear; one must sacrifice the lower to the higher, and, as the Greeks did with their oxen, one must fatten and bedeck the lower, so that it may be the worthier offering.
