Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.

» Teresa of Avila (Teresa de Jesus) - all quotes »
When the soul has arrived at this state all the acts of its spiritual and sensual nature, whether active or passive, and of whatever kind they may be, always occasion an increase of love and delight in God: even the act of prayer and communion with God, which was once carried on by reflections and divers other methods, is now wholly an act of love. So much so is this the case that the soul may always say, whether occupied with temporal or spiritual things, "My sole occupation is love." Happy life! happy state! and happy the soul which has attained to it!
John of the Cross
As we melt let's make no noise
Oh, the profanation of our love
To tell the world our passing joys!Aaron Weiss
We two will stand beside that shrine,
Occult, withheld, untrod,
Whose lamps are stirr'd continually
With prayer sent up to God;
And see our old prayers, granted, melt
Each like a little cloud.Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Bless your soul, you've got you're head in the clouds,
You made a fool out of you,
And, boy, she's bringing you down,
She made your heart melt,
But you're cold to the core,
Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore.Adele (singer)
As we can not love what is hateful, let us accustom ourselves neither to think nor to speak of disagreeable things and persons.
