Love Expands

You are not judged by the height you have risen, but from the depth you have climbed.

Jealousy is not a barometer by which the depth of love can be read. It merely records the degree of the lover’s insecurity.

When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

I don’t ask for the sights in front of me to change, only the depth of my seeing.

The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase.

I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture, and our concern for the future, can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.
