« Love binds us without binding us. Love engages us without locking us in. Love makes us tremble without putting us in fear. Love makes us cry without closing our hearts. Love makes us desire without possessing. Love follows us and makes us free. Love anchors us and opens us to the whole universe. »

« The human being is thus made that he constantly desires to possess what he does not have, even if he takes it by force in his neighbour. However, once his essential material needs are assured - to feed themselves, to have a roof and to live decently - man needs to enter into a logic other than that of having him in order to be satisfied and to become fully human: that of being. »

« An old man with a wretched appearance, begging for his life, walked through the streets of a city. No one was paying attention to him. A passerby said to him with contempt, "What are you doing here? You can see that no one knows you." The poor man looked at the passer-by and said, "What do I care? I know myself, and that's enough for me. The opposite would be a horror: that everyone knows me, and that I don't know." »
