“Though earth and man were gone,And suns and universes ceased to be,And Thou wert left alone,Every existence would exist in Thee.”

“Shall Earth no more inspire thee,Thou lonely dreamer now?”

“Existence, after losing her, would be hell”

“Two words would comprehend my future -- death and hell: existence, after losing her, would be hell.”

“You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!”

“My great thought is in himself. If all else perished and he remained I should still continue to be and if all else remained and he were annihilated the universe would turn into a mighty stranger. I would not seem apart of it.”

“The entire world is a collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her.”
