"Why do you weep? Whatever may be, your dreams will be fulfilled my troubled child; why do you weep?If your heart breaks it is nothing but dust. If your heart burns it becomes a light. If your tears flow they are nothing but water. If your tears cease they become like pearls.Don't waste them, these pearls are the treasures of you eyes."
