"The Wasted Vigil"

-Bible "1 Corinthians 13:5"
People will ask me: Don’t you believe in God? No, I don’t. I believe in two things above all: Nature and Love. Nature is all-powerful. Love is how I understand the good. It might have been nice to believe in God, often defined as all-powerful and good, but combining the two like that has always posed too much of a contradiction for my poor mind to believe in.
-C. George Boeree "C. George Boeree"
Good works are links that form a chain of love.
-Mother Teresa
When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, is called love.
-Socrates
