Quote by William Shakespeare

Excellent wretch Perdition catch my soul, But I do love thee and when I love thee not, Chaos is come again.

Excellent wretch Perdition catch my soul, But I do love thee

Summary

This quote suggests that even if the speaker is damned, they still love the person they are addressing. The use of "wretch" implies the possibility of damnation, but it does not deter their love. The second part of the quote conveys that the absence of this love would lead to chaos. The speaker's love for this person is intense, powerful, and seemingly uncontrollable, overshadowing any potential consequences.

God loved us, and to prove it to us became human in order to become our brother in the flesh. He became poor, the poorest of the poor, in order to be able to include us all as his brothers (and sisters). He became a little child in order to be like children, even born, children from the slums.God has loved us and has given us all that he is and has. The Father gave the Son, the Son gave his very self, the Holy Spirit became our habitual sanctifier.... How grateful I should be to this kind Savior!
