The concept of loyalty is distorted when it is understood to mean blind acceptance. It is correctly interpreted when it is assumed to cover honest criticism.

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.

The devils enter uninvited when the house stands empty. For other kinds of guests, you have to first open the door.

Perhaps a great love is never returned. Had it been given warmth and shelter by its counterpart in the Other, perhaps it would have been hindered from ever growing to maturity. It "gives" us nothing. But in its world of loneliness it leads us up to the summits with wide vistas - of great insights.

We've got to learn hard things in our lifetime, but it's love that gives you the strength. It's being nice to people and having a lot of fun and laughing harder than anything, hopefully every single day of your life.
