The merciful precepts of Christ will at last suffuse the Code and it will glow with their radiance. Crime will be considered an illness with its own doctors to replace your judges and its hospitals to replace your prisons. Liberty shall be equated with health. Ointments and oil shall be applied to limbs that were once shackled and branded. Infirmities that once were scourged with anger shall now be bathed with love. The cross in place of the gallows: sublime and yet so simple.

The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness.

God created the flirt as soon as he made the fool.

For dogs we kings should have lions, and for cats, tigers. The great benefits a crown.

A one-eyed man is much more incomplete than a blind man, for he knows what it is that's lacking.

Love resembles a tree: it bends under its own weight, deeply rooted in our being and sometimes turns green in the ruins of a heart.

Not seeing people allows you to think of them as perfect in all kinds of ways.
