“I am sinner, I am saint. I am the beloved and the betrayed. I have no joys that are not yours, no aches which are not yours. I too call myself I.”

There was but one beloved face on earth,
And that was shining on him.”

“How sweet to feel its helpless form
Depending thus on me alone!
And while I hold it safe and warm
What bliss to think it is my own!
To feel my hand so kindly prest,
To know myself beloved at last,
To think my heart has found a rest,
My life of solitude is past!”

“I did not want to be anything, and naturally I did not want to turn myself into a mere profession: all I ever wanted was to be myself.”

“The telephone becomes an instrument of torture in the demonic hands of a beloved who doesn't call.”

“Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the Beloved.”
