Richard Garnett

"The three eldest children of Necessity: God, the World and love."

"Love is God’s essence; Power but his attribute: therefore is his love greater than his power."

"Thou canst not pray to God without praying to Love, but mayest pray to Love without praying to God."

"When Silence speaks for Love she has much to say."

"Sweet are the words of Love, sweeter his thoughts: Sweetest of all what Love nor says nor thinks."

"Were Love exempt from the militations of Necessity, he were greater than God and the World."
