‘To renounce your
individuality, to see with another’s eyes, to hear with another’s ears, to be
two and yet but one, to so melt and mingle that you no longer know you are you
or another, to constantly absorb and constantly radiate, to reduce earth, sea and
sky and all that in them is to a single being, to give yourself to that being
so wholly that nothing whatever is withheld, to be prepared for sacrifice, to
double your personality in bestowing it: that is love.’
Theopile Gautier
‘Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being
alone.
It has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of
being alone.
And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory
of being alone.’
Paul Tillich (1886-1965)
‘And when the future hinges on the next words that are said, don’t let logic interfere, believe your heart instead.’
Philip Robison.
‘In our deepest moments of struggle, frustration, fear, and
confusion, we are being called upon to reach in and touch our hearts. Then, we
will know what to do, what to say, how to be. What is right is always in our
deepest heart of hearts. It is from the deepest part of our hearts that we are
capable of reaching out and touching another human being. It is, after all, one
heart touching another heart.’
Roberta Sage Hamilton
