"Hence arose the saying, If I love you,……" — Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Hence arose the saying, If I love you, what is that to you? We say so, because we feel that what we love is not in your will, but above it. It is not you, but your radiance. It is that which you know not in yourself, and can never know."
