The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

Let my skin and sinews and bones dry up, together with all the flesh and blood of my body! I welcome it! But I will not move from this spot until I have attained the supreme and final wisdom.

If i wish to compose or write or pray or preach well, i must be angry. Then all the blood in my veins is stirred, and my understanding is sharpened.
