I#pray because the need flows out of me all the time-walking and sleeping. It does not change #‎ God - it changes me.

I am in love and out of it I will not go.

It is easy to acknowledge, but almost impossible to realize for long, that we are mirrors whose brightness, if we are bright, is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us.

Every joy is beyond all others.

'Being in love' first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise.

Love, in the Christian sense, does not mean an emotion. It is a state not of the feelings but of the will; that state of the will which we have naturally about ourselves, and must learn to have about other people.

For in self-giving, if anywhere, we touch a rhythm not only of all creation but of all being.
