“We have pain and hate and love and joy and war in the world because we want them.”
“We don't stop loving people just because we hate them, but we don't stop hating them either.”
“What we need is not the cold acceptance of the world as a compromise,but some way in which we can heartily hate and heartily love it. We do not want joy and anger to neutralize each other and produce asurly contentment; we want a fiercer delight and a fiercer discontent”
“We have hands; we can stand on them if we want to. That's our privilege. That's the joy of a mortal body. And that's why God needs us. Because God loves to feel things through our hands.”
“We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them.”
“It's because we love a person that we love the world. And we want it to be better.”
