“She worked in order to live, and presently fell in love, also in order to live, for the heart, too, has its hunger.”

“She worked to live; then, also to live, for the heart too has its hunger, she loved.”

“Love has no middle term; either it destroys, or it saves. All human destiny is this dilemma. This dilemma, destruction or salvation, no fate proposes more inexorably than love. Love is life, if it is not death. Cradle; coffin, too. The same sentiment says yes and no in the human heart. Of all the things God has made, the human heart is the one that sheds most light, and alas! most night.”

“Live and Let live"" To love someone is to see the face of God”

“the purifying action of Conscience upsets the legal order.”

“For with love there is no middle course: it destroys, or else it saves. All human destiny is contained in that dilemma, the choice between destruction and salvation, which is nowhere more implacably posed than in love. Love is life, or it is death. It is the cradle, but also the coffin. One and the same impulse moves the human heart to say yes or no. Of all things God has created it is the human heart that sheds the brightest light and, alas, the blackest despair.”

“You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.”
