“Every man becomes the image of the God he adores.
He whose worship is directed to a dead thing becomes dead.
He who loves corruption rots.
He who loves a shadow becomes, himself, a shadow.
He who loves things that must perish lives in dread of their perishing.”

“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image.
