“As if one was mistaken in believing that love protects life. As if it were a lie that love is a blessing.”

“Blessed are the ones who find work worth their love and love worth their life :)”

“I sometimes believe his lies are the truth, but I have never mistaken his truth for a lie.”

“Of them all, it was the true love. Of them all, it was the best. That other sumptuous love which made one drunk, which one longed for, envied, believed in, that was not life. It was what life was seeking; it was a suspension of life. But to be close to a child, for whom one spent everything, whose life was protected and nourished by one's own, to have that child beside one, at peace, was the real, the deepest, the only joy.”

“Being loved is life's second greatest blessing; loving is the greatest.”

“Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul.”
