There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.

I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who makes things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth!

Whenever we encounter another person in love, we learn something new about God.

The fragility of our era is this, too: we don't believe that there is a chance for redemption; for a hand to raise you up; for an embrace to save you, forgive you, pick you up, flood you with infinite, patient, indulgent love; to put you back on your feet. We need mercy.

The winds that sometimes take something we love, are the same that bring us something we learn to love.

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.
