Love all God’s creation, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf, every ray of light. Love the animals, love the plants, love each separate thing. If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all; and when once thou perceive this, thou wilt thenceforward grow every day to a fuller understanding of it: until thou come at last to love the whole world with a love that will then be all-embracing and universal.
Fyodor DostoevskyIf he's honest, he'll steal; if he's human, he'll murder; if he's faithful, he'll deceive.
Fyodor DostoevskyMy friends, God is necessary for me if only because he is the one being who can be loved eternally.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
