“I am determined that nothing but the deepest love could ever induce me into matrimony. [Elizabeth]”
“I am determined that only the deepest love will induce me into matrimony. So, I shall end an old maid, and teach your ten children to embroider cushions and play their instruments very ill.”
“My deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I have done nothing to earn it or deserve it.”
“Nothing else loves me, nor ever will. Not even - especially - me. I know what I am and that's not a thing to love.”
“I am determined to practice deep listening. I am determined to practice loving speech.”
“Nothing determines me from outside, not because nothing acts upon me, but, on the contrary, because I am from the start outside myself and open to the world.”
