“True paradises are paradises lost”
“The only true paradise is paradise lost”
“The true paradises are the paradises that we have lost.”
“When angels speak of love they tell us it is only by loving that we enter an earthly paradise. They tell us paradise is our home and love our true destiny.”
“Like Adam, we have all lost Paradise; and yet we carry Paradise around inside of us in the form of a longing for, almost a memory of, a blessedness that is no more, or the dream of a blessedness that may someday be again.”
“Idle to pretend that we have lost paradise. We never had it; it is still to make.”
