"Those who would like the God of scripture to be more purely ethical, do not know what they ask."

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness." ~Friedrich Nietzsche, "On Reading and Writing" German philosopher (1844 - 1900)
