Indeed envy is a defect; worse than any other.
Love is the bridge between you and everything.
When you notice a fault in your neighbour, search for the same in yourself.
There is some kiss we want with your whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling.
Get yourself out of the way, and let Joy have more space.
If reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.
