I'll do my life work, sticking up for the love between man and woman.

A man must keep his earnestness nimble, to escape ridicule.

I would like [the working man] to give me back books and newspapers and theories. And I would like to give him back, in return, his old insouciance, and rich, original spontaneity and fullness of life.

And it seems to me a blasphemy to say that the Holy Spirit is Love. In the Old Testament it is an Eagle: in the New it is a Dove.Christ insists on the Dove: but in His supreme moments He includes the Eagle.

I think I am much too valuable a creature to offer myself to a German bullet gratis and for fun.

The love between man and woman is the greatest and most complete passion the world will ever see, because it is dual, because it is of two opposing kinds.

Don't be on the side of the angels, it's too lowering.
