“for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course."
As much as love allows for our growth, it also acts to prune us so that we grow straight and tall.”

“On Marriage
You were born together
together, and together you shall be for evermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”
― The Prophet

“Love is a deadly poison injected by
black vipers, who writhe in the caves
of Hell. The Poison flows there,
spreads, and falls like dew.
Thirsty souls drink it.
And are intoxicated for a minute,
sober again for a year,
then dead for a century long.”
