Quote by Andreas Capellanus

Love is always a stranger in the house of avarice.

Love is always a stranger in the house of avarice.

Summary

This quote suggests that love and greed cannot coexist harmoniously. In a house driven by greed, where avarice, or the insatiable desire for wealth, rules, love becomes a foreign concept. The pursuit of material possessions, money, and personal gain takes precedence over nurturing relationships and fostering intimacy. Love requires selflessness and generosity, traits that are contrary to the selfish and possessive nature of greed. Therefore, in a setting consumed by avarice, love is unable to flourish and remains an outsider.

Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.

The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us, and though distant, is close to us in spirit - this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.
