“Faith is not a question of the existence or non-existence of God. It is believing that love without reward is valuable.”
― Emmanuel Levinas

“There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.”
― St. Augustine

“A saint is not someone who never sins, but one who sins less and less frequently and gets up more and more quickly.”
― St. Bernard of Clairvaux

“Love remains a relation with the Other that turns into need, transcendent exteriority of the other, of the beloved. But love goes beyond the beloved... The possibility of the Other appearing as an object of a need while retaining his alterity, or again,the possibility of enjoying the Other... this simultaneity of need and desire, or concupiscence and transcendence,... constitutes the originality of the erotic which, in this sense, is the equivocal par excellence.”
― Emmanuel Lévinas, Totality and Infinity: An Essay on Exteriority
