“In every living thing there is the desire for love.”

“...Because every desire has its proper object...people spend their lives wanting things the shouldn't. The world confuses them into taking heir love and aiming it where it doesn't belong...All it takes to be happy is to love the right things, in the right amounts. Not money. Not books. People. Adults who don't understand that never feel fulfilled...”

“Every living thing requires love to survive for without it, we die.”

“... the proper self-knowledge and self-love of every created thing is ipso facto a participation in the knowledge and love of God. The entire universe moves by desire for the Highest Good simply because every part of it loves what God loves - namely, its own being.”

“Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.”

“Could it be that to truly love a thing is not to desire it, but to desire happiness for it?”
