“Let tenderness pour from your eyes, the way sun gazes warmly on earth.”

People say that the soul, on hearing the song of creation, entered the body, but in reality the soul itself was the song.

Words have no language which can utter the secrets of love; and beyond the limits of expression is the expounding of desire.

Oh, you who are trying to learn the marvel of Love through the copy book of reason, I’m very much afraid that you will never really see the point.

What is this precious love and laughter budding in our hearts? It is the glorious sound of a soul waking up!

What we speak becomes the house we live in.

Nothing earth-shattering has happened in men’s fashion. How much can you do with men’s clothes?

I would rather die for Christ than rule the whole earth.
