• When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.

• Marriage is the union of two divinities that a third might be born on earth. It is the union of two souls in a strong love for the abolishment of separateness.

It is the pure rain that falls from an unblemished sky to fructify and bless the fields of divine Nature.
