In schools throughout the world God's but described to you.
More quotes by Angelus Silesius
Christ could be born a thousand times in Bethlehem – but all in vain until He is born in me.
How fleeting is this world
yet it survives.
It is ourselves that fade from it
and our ephemeral lives.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
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.
