“The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.”

“You're in love, my old friend, and that is the downfall of all good men.”

“Every human activity can be put at the service of the divine and of love. We should all exercise our gift to build community.”

“I take my only exercise acting as a pallbearer at the funerals of my friends who exercise regularly.”

“How sweet is the assurance, how comforting is the peace that come from the knowledge that if we marry right and live right, our relationship will continue, notwithstanding the certainty of death and the passage of time. Men may write love songs and sing them. They may yearn and hope and dream. But all of this will be only a romantic longing unless there is an exercise of authority that transcends the powers of time and death.”

“We women, as some one says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all.”
