Any time gone by was better.
-Jorge Manrique

You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
-W. H. Auden
