“As long as a self is driven by an id to a Thou, it is not a matter of love, either. In love the self is not driven by the id, but rather the self chooses the Thou.”
“Id FaciamWhat I hate I love. Ask the crucified hand that holdsthe nail that now is driven into itself, why.”
“The man of integrity who is true to self and to God will choose the right whether or not anyone is looking because he is self-driven, not externally controlled.”
“Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all,What hast thou then more than thou hadst before? No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call, All mine was thine, before thou hadst this more. Then if for my love thou my love receivest,I cannot blame thee for my love thou usest, But yet be blam’d, if thou this self deceivest By willful taste of what thyself refusest.”
“If thou dost seek to have what thou dost hide,By self-example mayst thou be denied.”
“There is abundant testimony that if we choose love rather than self, we gain immeasurably.”
