"It will come with a rush and a roar and a shudder. It will come howling and laughing and shrieking and moaning.

You will feel it before it comes and you will tense yourself for acceptance and the earth which is your eternal bed will tremble at the moment of your union."

“Many people falsely believe that if you want to be holy, you are not allowed to enjoy life...Holiness brings us to life. It refines every human ability.

They have a richer, more abundant experience of life, and they love more deeply than most people can every imagine. They enjoy life, all of life.”
