I believe there is no one deeper, lovelier, more sympathetic and more perfect than Jesus.

To crush, to annihilate a man utterly, to inflict on him the most terrible of punishments so that the most ferocious murderer would shudder at it and dread it beforehand, one need only give him work of an absolutely, completely useless and irrational character.

They were like two enemies in love with one another.

The chief thing is to love others like yourself, that's the chief thing, and that's everything; nothing else is wanted - you will find out at once how to arrange it all.

Sometimes a man is intensely, even passionately, attached to suffering — that is a fact.

Love is such a priceless treasure that you can buy the whole world with it, and redeem not only your own but other people's sins. Go, and do not be afraid.

A fool with a heart and no sense is just as unhappy as a fool with sense and no heart.
