7 quotes

It is sad not to be loved, but it is much sadder not to be able to love.

Love is a contradiction if there is no God.

Love personalizes all that it loves. Only by personalizing it can we fall in love with an idea.

Use harms and even destroys beauty. The noblest function of an object is to be contemplated.

Niebla [Mist (1914)

Not by way of reason, but only by way of love and suffering, do we come to the living God, the human God.

And this Consciousness of the Universe, which a love, personalizing all that it loves, discovers, is what we call God.

God is in each of us in the measure in which one feels Him and loves Him.
