“Fair seedtime had my soul, and I grew up
Fostered alike by beauty and by fear.”

“Erik: Are you very tired?
Christine: Oh, tonight I gave you my soul, and I am dead.
Erik: Your soul is a beautiful thing, child. No emperor received so fair a gift. The angels wept to-night.”

“Yon crescent Moon, as fixed as if it grew
In its own cloudless, starless lake of blue;
I see them all so excellently fair,
I see, not feel, how beautiful they are!”

“The fear of God reigning in the heart is the beauty of the soul.”

“Was it fair to say I didn't know the full state of my soul?”

“Nothing fosters courage like a clear grasp of grace… & nothing fosters fear like an ignorance of mercy”

“I lost myself to him and laid my face upon my lover's breast
And care and grief grew dim as in the morning's mist became the light
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair.”

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.”

“There is absolutely nothing wrong with returning to the house you grew up in every now and again. It's good for the soul.”

“You've always had me… and my heart. My soul. Everything. I wish it hadn't taken this long for me to man up.”
