The three eldest children of Necessity: God, the World and love.
Then is Love blest, when from the cup of the body he drinks the wine of the soul.
Love is God's essence; Power but his attribute: therefore is his love greater than his power.
Love is wont to visit Man in the company of Desire; but Woman by himself.
Life without Love is as a flower without fragrance.
Thou canst not pray to God without praying to Love, but mayest pray to Love without praying to God.
