The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free.
Marriage can be more an exultant ecstasy than the human mind can conceive. This is within the reach of every couple, every person.
To be in love involves the most irresistible conviction that one will go on being in love until one dies, and that possession of the beloved will confer, not merely frequent ecstasies, but settled, fruitful, deep-rooted, lifelong happiness.
Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love.
You will find inner ecstasy when you can be reckless in love.
Love to throw yourself on the earth and kiss it. Kiss the earth and love it with an unceasing, consuming love.
