Beauty awakens the soul to act.

They yearn for what they fear for.

Because there is no man who can be true and just judge of himself, so much will self-love deceive him.

Into the eternal darkness, into fire and into ice.

If you give people light, they will find their own way.

All your renown is like the summer flower that blooms and dies; because the sunny glow which brings it forth, soon slays with parching power.

"The love of God, unutterable and perfect, flows into a pure soul the way light rushes into a transparent object. The more love that it finds, the more it gives itself: so that, as we grow clear and open, the more complete the joy of heaven is. And the more souls who resonate together, the greater the intensity of their love, and, mirror like, each soul reflects the other.
