“Light renders healthy.”

“God is behind everything, but everything hides God. Things are black, creatures are opaque. To love a being is to render that being transparent.”

“The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being, and the extension of a single being until it reaches God - that is love. Love is the salute of the angels to the stars.How sad is the heart when rendered sad by love!How great is the void created by the absence of the being who alone fills the world.”

“Memories are our strength. When night attempts to return, we must light up the great dates, as we would light torches.”

“To love beauty is to see light.”

“Let's not bring flame where light is enough.”

“A people, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.”
