Favourite Tagore Quotes

Please share ur favourite quotes by Tagore here. The best ones are from "Sparks" i suppose.

Here's my favourite ones-

Quote:
My thoughts, like sparks,
Ride on winged surprises
Carrying a single laughter.
Quote:
The tree gazes in love at its beautiful shadow
Who is his own and yet whom he can never grasp.
Thats all that came up to my mind at the moment, may be I'll add more later.

I haven't read much of Tagore. But this one is my favourite so far. It is more a paragraph than a quote from a short story called 'The Postmaster':
"O poor, unthinking human heart! Error will not go away, logic and reason are slow to penetrate.We cling with both arms to false hope, refusing to believe in the weightiest proofs against it, embracing it with all our strength. In the end it escapes, ripping our veins and draining our heart's blood; until, regaining consciousness, we rush to fall into snares of delusion all over again"

I smiled and things WERE worse.

Correct me if I am wrong. Everybody else does.
