“The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it.”

“The knowledge that she would never be loved in return acted upon her ideas as a tide acts upon cliffs.”

“Each of our moral, mental, and bodily powers must have its development based upon its own nature, and not based upon artificial and outside influences. Faith must be developed by exercises in believing and cannot be developed from the knowledge and understanding, only, of what is to be believed; thought must grow from thinking, for it cannot come simply from the knowledge and understanding of what is to be thought, or the laws of thought; love must be developed by loving, for it does not arise merely from a knowledge and understanding of what love is and of what ought to be loved; art, also, can only be cultivated through doing artistic work and acquiring skill, for unending discussion of art and skill will not develop them. Such a return to the true method of Nature in the method of the development of our powers necessitates the subordination of education to the knowledge of the various laws which govern those powers.”

“We all know that Beauty grows to love the Beast. She grows to love him, despite what her family might think ⎼ for his charm and education, his knowledge of art and his sensitive heart.”

“Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be got by hard, regular, daily, attentive, wakeful reading.”

“Energy rests upon love; and come as it will, there's no forcing it.”

“Knowledge is a desire that comes after acquiring power. The first type of desire is love, then wealth, health, power and knowledge.”

“See how elastic our prejudices grow when once love comes to bend them.”

“Just as feelings grow out of ignorance, intuition should grow out of knowledge.”

“A book is a collaboration between the one who reads and what is read and, at its best, that coming together is a love story like any other.”
