“There is no rapture in the love which is prompted by esteem; such affection is lasting, not passionate.”

“That men saw his mask, but the bishop saw his face. That men saw his life, but the bishop saw his conscience.”

“Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone. I keep waiting for you, but you never come. Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.”

“When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.”

“Doubt is thought's despair; despair is personality's doubt. . . . Doubt and despair . . . belong to completely different spheres; different sides of the soul are set in motion. . . . Despair is an expression of the total personality, doubt only of thought.”
