Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. . . . . . What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. . . . Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.
American men are allotted just as many tears as American women.

We, men, die because our faces were not watered enough.
