Live in the world as if only God and your soul were in it; then your heart will never be made captive by any earthly thing.

My sole occupation is love.

Seek in reading and thou shalt find in meditation; knock in prayer and it shall be opened in contemplation.

Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the Beloved.

God leads every soul by a separate path.

Yearning: It needs to hurt in order to be worthy of the word. Otherwise it is just wanting.

Live as though only God and yourself were in this world, so that your heart may not be detained by anything human.
