Quote by Laura Kinsale

“My books are mine, and yet they are alien to me--as a child belongs to a parent and yet has a life of its own. I can guide and hope and nudge my characters this and that way, but in the end, they become what they become. I don't always like what they become myself, but like a parent, there are times when I just don't know what to do about it. Other times when I'm so proud of them I could bust.”

“Świat ośmiesza namiętności, które są mu mało znane. Jego obrazy i zainteresowania rozpraszają uwagę, psują smak i serce, a miłość nie może istnieć w sercu, które zatraciło godność niewinności. Cnota i smak są prawie tym samym, bo cnota to niewiele więcej niż aktywny smak, i na prawdziwą miłość składają się najdelikatniejsze afekty jednego i drugiego. Jakże więc mamy szukać miłości w wielkich miastach, gdzie miejsce czułości, prostoty i prawdy zajmują samolubstwo, rozpusta i nieszczerość?”

“God is herenow. All that you see is God. God is not something beyond; God is something within. Or, if you like paradoxes, you can call God the within beyond or the beyond within. But God is intrinsic, God is the innermost core of existence. Unless you start in the right direction, you will go on missing. Never believe in a God who is separate from His creatures and the creation. He is not, He cannot be. He is one with it: He is in it, He is it. Once this is understood, you start flowing; your whole life becomes a prayer.”
