“Sometimes. But, you know, that feeling? When you wake up in the morning and you have somebody to think about? Somewhere for hope to go? It’s good. Even when it’s bad, it’s good.”
― Casey McQuiston, One Last Stop

“But how does the Absolute become part of something that is other than itself and yet remain itself? The answer to this is that it does not become part of something else but rather that the other manifestation is a part of itself, is itself. The goal of the Absolute in revealing itself in existing forms is not to light up existence so much as to light up the absent and unknown. But it is revelation that allows the setting up of an order of correspondences that place man on the path of mysteries and guide him to the keys that will open them.”

“Of course I love you. I could go back in time and have a whole life and get old and never see you again, and you would still be it. You were— you are the love of my life.”

“Thus we see that the meaning (the Absent, God, the Absolute, the High Point) has no limit. When man speaks about God, he is not speaking about his essence, but only about the way God manifests himself to him, that is, the image in which he appears. This image comes from man rather than from God. He does not appear in the same image to everyone but rather in a different image to every human being to whom he reveals himself. His manifestations are different, both in clarity and obscurity, according to the difference in the persons. Mankind does not know the essence of God, but knows only an image of him and an interpretation on which he constructs this image.”
