Baruch de Spinoza Quote

It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should refuse an offer of marriage

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry

To get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with

I am in love with this green earth; the face of town and country; the unspeakable rural solitudes.

Love is the one bond of the universe, the heart of God, the life of his children: if animals can be loved, they are loveable; if they can love, they are yet more plainly loveable: love is eternal; how then should its object perish?

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
