Long before history began we men have got together apart from the women and done things. We had time.

The longer we stay in Hell, the more we become attached to it.

Reality, looked at steadily, is unbearable.

You can’t go on “seeing through” things forever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it. To “see through” all things is the same as not to see.

If we will not learn to eat the only food that the universe grows...then we must starve eternally.

Bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.

Love...is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by (in Christian marriages) the grace which both partners ask, and receive, from God. They can have this love for each other even at those moments when they do not like each other; as you love yourself even when you do not like yourself.
