Love

More quotes by Henry Suso

An unloving heart can no more understand a love-filled speaker than a German an Italian.

In this wild mountain region of the 'where' beyond God there is an abyss full of play and feeling for all pure spirits.

Now these people who are taken within, because of their boundless immanent oneness with God, see themselves as always and eternally existing

Here in this region beyond thought the human spirit actively soars.

Be steadfast and never rest content until you have obtained the now of eternity as your present possession in this life, so far as this is possible to human infirmity.

Bertrand Russell Marriage and Morals (1929)

Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.

Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
