to love--to fall--is not a question.<br /> to touch--to kiss--to speak--those are the questions.

Beauty! I can&#039;t endure the thought that a man of lofty mind and heart begins with the ideal of the Madonna and ends with the ideal of Sodom. What&#039;s still more awful is that a man with the ideal of Sodom in his soul does not renounce the ideal of the Madonna, and his heart may be on fire with that ideal, genuinely on fire, just as in his days of youth and innocence. Yes, man is broad, too broad, indeed. I&#039;d have him narrower. The devil only knows what to make of it! What to the mind is shameful is beauty and nothing else to the heart. Is there beauty in Sodom? Believe me, that for the immense mass of mankind beauty is found in Sodom. Did you know that secret? The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and the devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man.

If ever there is a tomorrow when were not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem &amp; smarter than you think, but the most important thing is, even if were apart I&#039;ll always be you.
