Man can certainly flee from God… but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God, but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.

For the lord thy God is a merciful God; he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee.

Even old, your husband is the young man you remember now. Even dead, he is the man you remember, not as he was but as he is, alive still in your love. Death is a sort of lens, though I used to think of it as a wall or a shut door. It changes things and makes them clear. Maybe it is the truest way of knowing this dream, this brief and timeless life.

We must take love to the limit of time, because time can not limit it. A life cannot limit it. Maybe to have it in your heart all your life in this world, even while it fails here, is to succeed. Maybe that is enough.

What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.

Love is really the only thing we can possess, keep with us, and take with us.

You are always new, the last of your kisses was ever the sweetest.

Heaven is where love comes out ahead.

The most beautiful jewelry in the world is not a diamond necklace, but two hearts beating as one.

When love arrests your heart, pray she sentences it for eternity.

Love is a spirit, and therefore cannot die a natural death.

If love was a sin, God Himself would be in the hottest part of Hell.
