A Human Being Is A Deciding Being.

It Is Not Freedom From Conditions, But It Is Freedom To Take A Stand Toward The Conditions.

Man Is Not Fully Conditioned And Determined But Rather Determines Himself Whether He Gives In To Conditions Or Stands Up To Them.

But There Was No Need To Be Ashamed Of Tears, For Tears Bore Witness That A Man Had The Greatest Of Courage, The Courage To Suffer.

I Understood How A Man Who Has Nothing Left In This World Still May Know Bliss, Be It Only For A Brief Moment, In The Contemplation Of His Beloved.

. . . Nothing Could Touch The Strength Of My Love, And The Thoughts Of My Beloved. Had I Known Then That My Wife Was Dead, I Think That I Still Would Have Given Myself, Undisturbed By That Knowledge, To The Contemplation Of That Image, And That My Mental Conversation With Her Would Have Been Just As Vivid And Just As Satisfying. "set Me Like A Seal Upon Thy Heart, Love Is As Strong As Death."
