“True affection and love have a purity which shall always prevail over bigotry.”

“By two wings is man lifted above earthly things, even bysimplicity and purity. Simplicity ought to be in the intention,purity in the affection.”

“But it is doubtless true, and evident from [the] Scriptures, that the essence of all true religion lies in holy love; and that in this divine affection, and an habitual disposition to it, and that light which is the foundation of it, and those things which are the fruits of it, consists the whole of religion.”

“Affection conquers all obstacles, and the weakest and most inefficient girl that ever stepped, if she have strong within' her that love which, in all its sacred intensity, knows no fear, shall indeed accomplish much.”

“There's something evil in me that loves evil and degradation--purity's black backside! That loves honesty with a horrid love; or why have I always gone seeking it at the liar's door?”

“Be not dishearten'd -- Affection shall solve the problems of Freedom yet;Those who love each other shall become invincible.”
