In each of us there dwells a mystery, and that mystery is the human personality. - Jacques Maritain

To philosophize man must put his whole soul into play, in much the same manner that to run he must use his heart and lungs.

It has never been recommended to confuse "loving" with "seeking to please"… ...Salome pleased Herod's guests; I can hardly believe she was burning with love for them. As for poor John the Baptist... ...she certainly did not envelop him in her love.
