People, since the beginning of time, have always tried to understand the universe through love.

The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.

Most human beings still cannot trust love.

Thy will be done, my Lord. Because you know the weakness in the heart of your children, and you assign each of them only the burden they can bear. May you understand my love–because it is the only thing I have that is really mine, the only thing that I will be able to take with me into the next life. Please allow it to be courageous and pure; please make it capable of surviving the snares of the world.

Excessive caution destroys the soul and the heart, because living is an act of courage, and an act of courage is always an act of love.

What was broken will never be the same again.

If you want to control someone, all you have to do is to make them feel afraid.
