Love, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.

God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that he may love and perfect them.

If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work.

Once you were a child. Once you knew what inquiry was for. There was a time when you asked questions because you wanted answers, and were glad when you had found them. Become a child again, even now... You have gone wrong. Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth.

And what about you? You must be some kind of beardless dwarf?...You mean to say, that you're a daughter of Eve?...Y-yes, but, you are in fact... human?

He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only.

He who has not forgiven an enemy has never yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life.
