• Through all the centuries of the worship of the mindless, whatever stagnation humanity chose to endure, whatever brutality to practice-it was only by the grace of the men who perceived that wheat must have water in order to grow, that stones laid in a curve will form an arch, that two and two make four, that love is not served by torture and life is not fed by destruction-only by the grace of those men did the rest of them learn to experience moments when they caught the spark of being human.

  Ayn Rand

• To the question, ‘Is the cinema an art?’ my answer is, ‘what does it matter?’... You can make films or you can cultivate a garden. Both have as much claim to being called an art as a poem by Verlaine or a painting by Delacroix… Art is ‘making.’ The art of poetry is the art of making poetry. The art of love is the art of making love... My father never talked to me about art. He could not bear the word.

  Jean Renoir

• Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.

  R. C. Sproul

• Resistance is directly proportional to love. If you’re feeling massive Resistance, the good news is, it means there’s tremendous love there too. If you didn’t love the project that is terrifying you, you wouldn’t feel anything. The opposite of love isn’t hate; it’s indifference.

• The artist must be like that Marine. He has to know how to be miserable. He has to love being miserable. He has to take pride in being more miserable than any soldier or swabbie or jet jockey. Because this is war, baby. And war is hell.

• Winds of May, that dance on the sea,
  Dancing a ring-around in glee
  From furrow to furrow, while overhead
  The foam flies up to be garlanded,
  In silvery arches spanning the air,
  Saw you my true love anywhere?
  Welladay! Welladay!
  For the winds of May!
  Love is unhappy when love is away!

  James Joyce

• I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts
  because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace.
  “If I feel peaceful,” they say, “why would I bother taking action at all?”
  My answer is “Because that's what love does.”
  To think that we need sadness or outrage
  to motivate us to do what's right is insane.
  As if the clearer and happier you get, the less kind you become.
  As if when someone finds freedom, she just sits around all day
  with drool running down her chin.
  My experience is the opposite.
  Love is action.

  Byron Katie

• You love tenderly and warmly, but your love is like friendship. That's why you have good friends, you're sociable, sympathetic toward people. Until this dissatisfaction comes over you-you know what I'm talking about. Then you become moody, can even repulse people who are close to you, even people who love you, you know why. Those are bad times when everything goes cold, and they follow the times of great love.

  Christa Wolf

  Love You, Good Friend, Talking

• Why do we think love is a magician? Because the whole power of magic consists in love. The work of magic is the attraction of one thing by another because of a certain affinity of nature.

• Love is only surpassing sweet when it is directed toward a mortal object, and the secret of this ultimate sweetness only is defined by the bitterness of death. Thus the white peoples of the world foresee a time when their land with its rivers and mountains still lies under heaven as it does today, but other people dwell there; when their language is entombed in books, and their laws and customs have lost their living power.

  Franz Rosenzweig

  Sweet, Lying, Book

• In strange and uncertain times such as those we are living in, sometimes a reasonable person might despair. But hope is unreasonable and love is greater even than this. May we trust the inexpressible benevolence of the creative impulse.
