Quote by Sarah J. Maas

“Elain had always been gentle and sweet- and I had considered it a different sort of strength. A better strength. To look at the hardness of the world and choose, over and over, to love, to be kind. She had been always so full of light. Perhaps that was why she now kept all the curtains open. To fill the void that existed where all of that light had once been. And now nothing remained.”

“Light is the in-utterable name of God; the YHWH form. It is the emotional life of a bee and the distance to Icarus, the farthest visible star. It is the finding of compassion amidst tyranny, the networked communication between trees, and the whale song. Light is woven through the gauze of grief and is “the limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns” (John Lennon). It is what Catholic theologians called “the inexpressible, the incomprehensible, the invisible, the ungraspable, the thing we cannot conceive” (John Chrysostom) . “Tell me, if you have understanding. What is the way to the place where the light is distributed?” (Job 38:4) And unable to answer, in dumb obliviousness, instead, we point at the Sun”

“Ordinarily humanity thinks that they know what love is. Everybody assumes that theft know what love is, so they think that there is no need to learn what love is. They think that there is no need to seek and discover what love is, so love is missing from the world. Humanity does not understand that love is the greatest art in life. You cannot take love forgranted. You have to explore what love is. That will enhance the whole of humanity. Love is everybody's potential, so it is possible that the whole humanity can come to a new height of love. Only then will a real humanity be born. When thousand of people realize their potential for love it will affect the whole of humanity. Then a new humanity will arise with love in their heart. A new humanity will arise with a light in their soul. But it requires your effort to rise to your potential of love. Then it will not only be a spiritual growth for you, but a help for the whole humanity. It will be a true service for humanity.”
