To marry is the biggest risk in human relations that a person can take.

We are suspicious of grace. We are afraid of the very lavishness of the gift.

Sometimes when we have to speak suddenly we come closer to the truth than when we have time to think.

I saw Eternity the other night, Like a great ring of pure and endless light, All calm, as it was bright, And round beneath it, Time, in hours, days, years, Driven by the spheres, Like a vast shadow moved, in which the world And all her train were hurled.

To write for children at all is an act of faith.

Because it is the nature of love to create, a marriage itself is something which has to be created, so that, together we become a new creature.

Humility is throwing oneself away in complete concentration on something or someone else.
