“If I were to tell you, for example, of all the amusements and pleasures that the dearest friends in the world enjoy together, I would say that these are nothing, and if I gathered all the delights of the Universe together, I would say that I valued all these [things] very little or they had no value, compared to those that my heart has instantly with its God. Love makes it leap and dance; Love makes it rejoice and celebrate; Love makes it sing and keep quiet as it pleases; Love puts it to rest and to work. Love possesses it; it surrenders itself to everything; Love is its ruler.”
