“Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.”
“Be resolutely and faithfully what you are; be humbly what you aspire to be.”
“But love takes many forms, and it is not the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a certain love.”
“Perhaps true faith is a form of insanity.”
“Americans . . . are forever searching for love in forms it never takes, in places it can never be.”
“New York is to the nation what the white church spire is to the village - the visible symbol of aspiration and faith, the white plume saying the way is up”
