The goal of our life should not be to find joy in marriage, but to bring more love and truth into the world.

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.

To get rid of an enemy one must love him.

You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.

Everything I understand, I understand because I love.

Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
