Either marriage is a destiny, I believe, or there is no sense in it at all, it's a piece of humbug.

If the going is getting too easy, maybe you're going downhill!

We know that every person who is loved feels transformed, unfolded, and he unfolds everything, the most intimate as well as the most familiar, to the one who loves him as well as to himself.... The person one loves is as ungraspable as the universe, as God's infinite space, he is boundless, full of possibilities, full of secrets.

The demand that we love our neighbor as ourselves contains as an axiom the demand that we shall love ourselves, shall accept ourselves as we were created.

It's precisely the disappointing stories, which have no proper ending and therefore no proper meaning, that sound true to life.
