«To dispense with ceremony is the most delicate mode of conferring a compliment»
«Those who marry God can become domesticated too / it's just as hum-drum a marriage as all the others. The word ''Love'' means a formal touch of the lips as in the ceremony of the Mass, and ''Ave Maria '' like ''dearest'' is a phrase to open a letter. This marriage like the world's marriages was held together by habits and tastes shared in common between God and themselves / it was God's taste to be worshipped and their taste to worship, but only at stated hours like a suburban embrace on a Saturday night.»
