Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it.

Both good and evil, when they are full grown, become retrospective...That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporary suffering, 'No future bliss can make up for it,' not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory.

Autumn is really the best of the seasons

Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.
