Only if what I tell you appears absolutely unbelievable have we any chance of visualizing the future as it really will happen.

Charlotte BronteTo love! To surrender absolutely, to prostrate oneself before the divine image, to die a thousand imaginary deaths, to annihilate every trace of self, to find the whole universe embodied and enshrined in the living image of another!
