There was an embrace in death.”

“There is no such thing as an ordinary life.”

“Joy wants the eternity of all things, wants deep, wants deep eternity.”

“We say nothing essential about the cathedral when we speak of its stones. We say nothing essential about Man when we seek to define him by the qualities of men.”
