“For where all love is, the speaking is unnecessary”

“Perhaps love is essential because it's unnecessary.”

“Judge not; speak hardly at all; love and act.”

“I go forth to seek —
To seek and claim the lovely magic garden
Where grasses softly sigh and Muses speak.”

“All the graces of Christianity always go together. They so go together that where there is one, there are all, and where one is wanting, all are wanting. Where there is faith, there are love, and hope, and humility; and where there is love, there is also trust; and where there is a holy trust in God, there is love to God; and where there is a gracious hope, there also is a holy fear of God.”

“And when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes Heaven drowsy with the harmony.”

“Speak low, if you speak love.”

“It was one of those parties where you cough twice before you speak and then decide not to say it after all.”

“That God of love which is already here anyway - who wouldn't be able to realise it? The difficult part is to bring that God into this world where God or love is not, into that body listening to these words and this body speaking them. That's the task.”

“Where words fail, music speaks.”
