Limited love asks for possession of the beloved, but the unlimited asks only for itself.

Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.

Then it is also in my heart to be worthy of your hate.

You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet; you may even throw me into a dark prison; but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free!

The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remembers those places regardless of distance or time.

Science and religion are in full accord, but science and faith are in complete discord.

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
