“To me, falling in love is the first step in losing my confidence. If I'm in love with somebody, I think that obviously he must have other people in his life.

“And the true order of going, or being led by another, to the things of love, is to begin from the beauties of earth and mount upwards for the sake of that other beauty, using these steps only, and from one going on to two, and from two to all fair forms to fair practices, and from fair practices to fair notions, until from fair notions he arrives at the notion of absolute beauty, and at last knows what the essence of beauty is.” KnowsTwoEarthLastsFormOrderLove IsStepsPracticeFairsEssenceAbsolutesNotionSakeEssence Of BeautySymposium Book:The Portable Plato Source: The Portable Plato

“Within each of us exists the image of God, however disfigured and corrupted by sin it may presently be. God is able to recover this image through grace as we are conformed to Christ. Just as the figure of David lay hidden within the marble, discernible only to the eye of its creator, so the image of God (however tarnished by sin) lies within us, see and known by God Himself. Yet God loves us while we are still sinners. He doesn't have to wait until we stop sinning. Acceptance of His love is a major step along the road that leads to our liberation from the tyranny of sin.” MayStillsEyeAbleLyingWaitingChristSinLove IsKnownStepsGraceFiguresAcceptanceMajorsLaysCreatorTyrannyLiberationGod LoveSinnerHis LoveMarbleGod ImageSinningGod Loves UsGod Is Able Author:Alister E.
