I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.

I do not feel I could give up all for Christ, were I called to die.

When a Lover is a Beggar Abject is his Knee. When a Lover is an Owner Different is he.

The Truth must dazzle gradually or every man be blind.

To die before one fears to die may be a boon.

Nothing more do I ask than to share with you the ecstasy and sacrament of my life.

Beauty is not the cause of something, it is what it is.
