More quotes by John of the Cross

There is nothing better or more necessary than love.

At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love.

the Catechism of the Catholic Church (2002)

One human thought alone is worth more than the entire world, hence God alone is worthy of it.

In a word, it is for this love that we are all created.

When the soul, then, in any degree possesses the spirit of solitary love, we must not interfere with it.
