“No greater mistake can be made than to imagine that what has been written latest is always the more correct; that what is written later on is an improvement on what was written previously; and that every change means progress.”

I came home. I enjoyed my bath. I enjoyed perfuming myself. I knew I was born for this, to do it over and over again, the ritual of the dressing, the perfuming for love, for sensuality. I enjoyed everything sensually.

“You act like mortals in all that you fear, and like immortals in all that you desire.”

“All oppression creates a state of war.”

My belief that God is love—that love is everything, our true destiny—sustains me. […] All awakening to love is spiritual awakening.
