But he who loveliness within
Hath found, all outward loathes,
For he who color loves, and skin,
Loves but their oldest clothes.

Craft must have Clothes ; but Truth loves to go naked.

 
Thomas (writer) Fuller
 

Consciousness (conscientia) is participated knowledge, is co-feeling, and co-feeling is com-passion. Love personalizes all that it loves. Only by personalizing it can we fall in love with an idea. And when love is so great and so vital, so strong and so overflowing, that it loves everything, then it personalizes everything and discovers that the total All, that the Universe, is also a person possessing a Consciousness, a Consciousness which in its turn suffers, pities, and loves, and therefore is consciousness. And this Consciousness of the Universe, which a love, personalizing all that it loves, discovers, is what we call God.

 
Miguel de Unamuno
 

Man loves liberty, even if he does not know that he loves it. He is driven by it and flees from where it does not exist.

Man's inhumanity to man will continue as long as man loves God more than he loves his fellow man.
