Love brings to life whatever is dead around us.
-- Franz Rosenzweig -
The knowledge of everything knowable is not yet wisdom
-- Franz Rosenzweig -
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 -
To have found God is not an end but in itself a beginning.
-- Franz Rosenzweig

If I say your voice is an amber waterfall in which I yearn to burn each day, if you eat my mouth like a mystical rose with powers of healing and damnation, If I confess that your body is the only civilization I long to experience… would it mean that we are close to knowing something about love?
