Widen your shriveled heart, make the interests of others your own and serve them as much as you can by sympathy, kindness, presents and so forth.

In God's empire, it is forgetfulness of Him that is detrimental. The way to Peace lies in the remembrance of Him and of Him alone.

Divine happiness, even the tiniest particle of a grain of it, never leaves one again; and when one attains to the essence of things and finds one's Self-this is supreme happiness. When it is found, nothing else remains to be found; the sense of want will not awaken anymore, and the heart's torment will be stilled forever. Do not be satisfied with fragmentary happiness, which is invariably interrupted by shocks and blows of fate; but become complete, and having attained to perfection, be YOURSELF.

Most of us can't help but live as though we've got two lives to live, one is the mockup, the other the finished version, and then there are all those versions in between.

I don't envy the pain. But I envy you the pain. (p. 225)

At the outset, it is only liking, not understanding, that matters.

If you were to press your heart close up against somebody else’s heart eventually your hearts will start beating at the same time. And two little babies in an incubator, their hearts will beat at the same time. Love that.

And I just love that idea. Or maybe yours would speed up to mine. But either way, we’ll be there together.

And that's why we always remember that first rapturous night when he was a stranger, and why this rapture returns only when he's dead.
