"It is only by love that we can understand God."

"I believe that if one were to destroy in mankind the belief in immortality, not only love but every living force maintaining the life of the world would at once be dried up."

"To love is to suffer and there can be no love without suffering."

"Man is bound to worship something. If he cannot worship God, he will worship an idol."

"Man is unhappy because he doesn't know he's happy; it's only that. Whoever learns it will be happy at once, that instant."
