“For love is ever the beginning of Knowledge, as fire is of light.”

“A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.”

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”

“Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes.”

“From love's plectrum arises
the song of the string of life
Love is the light of life
love is the fire of life”

“The light
Begin to bleed,
Begin to breathe,
Begin to speak.
D'you know what?
I love you better now.”

“For a breeze of morning moves,
And the planet of Love is on high,
Beginning to faint in the light that she loves
On a bed of daffodil sky,
To faint in the light of the sun she loves,
To faint in his light, and to die.”

“The power of thought is the light of knowledge, the power of will is the energy of character, the power of heart is love. Reason, love and power of will are perfections of man.”

“It is not light that burns, that purifies, that consumes, that divides, and that recomposes; it is fire. And this fire we are talking about always follows light.”

“Self knowledge begins with the neighbor, the mirror, and just the same with true self-love; that goes from the mirror to the matter.”
