“By poeticizing love, we imagine in those we love virtues that they often do not possess; this then becomes the source of constant mistakes and constant distress.”

“Love is the only thing that will save us, independent of any mistakes we may make. Love is always stronger.”

“When we make our own calculations, we need so many numbers and factors that any mistake is possible. The Lord's calculation boils down to love.”

“No one in this world is pure and perfect. If you avoid people for their mistakes, you will be alone in this world. So judge less and love more.”
