“I recognize the divinity in you, but actually more like, I recognize our each-otherness, instantly”

“I experienced one of the common miracles of the Christian life. Our spirits recognized each other.”

“The instant I recognize and honor the creative spark in you, the instant I see it unfolding in front of my eyes.”

“It's all very well for me to tell myself there are no provincial cities any more and perhaps there never were any: all places communicate instantly with all other places, a sense of isolation is felt only during the trip between one place and the other, that is, when you are in no place. I, in fact, recognize myself here without a here or an elsewhere, recognized as an outsider by the nonoutsiders at least as clearly as I recognize the nonoutsiders and envy them. ”

“It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.”

“I recognized you instantly. All of our lives flashed through my mind in a split second. I felt a pull so strongly towards you that I almost couldn't stop it.”
