“That lovely things exist is a lovely thought.”
“A thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.”
“Love is a thing that exists to spread and passed on to others.”
“In order for love to exist, there has to be an affinity of thoughts, affinity of feelings, identical preoccupations.”
“The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.”
“To love human beauty is to love something whose very existence is doomed. Love should be based on permanence. On solid, secure things.....Love of God. Love of good deeds. Love of country and family. Love of ideas.”
