Howard Thurman, "Love or Perish"

#HowardThurman #love

"Our only responsibility is to love. Whether we are loved back, whether love becomes productive in ways that we can measure -- this is not our business. The nature of love, is to love!"

Howard Thurman, "Reconciliation", 1963

#HowardThurman #love

"There is nothing outside ourselves -- no circumstance, no condition, no vicissitude -- that can ultimately separate us from the love of God or of one another. And we pour out our gratitude to God that this is so!"

Howard Thurman, "Keep Alive the Dream in the Heart", 1951

#HowardThurman

"It is one with the living water welling up from the very springs of Being...The dream is the quiet persistence in the heart that enables a man to ride out the storms of his churning experiences."

Charlotte Brontë, Villette, 1853 ✨

"I should have quailed still more in the unwonted presence of that which to-night shone in the north, a moving mystery -- the Aurora Borealis. But this solemn stranger influenced me otherwise than through my fears. Some new power it seemed to bring."
