You had not associated saintliness with Chicago? Probably not. But he associates everything he is or ever has been with Chicago, and it would never enter into his mind for an instant that there is in the world any city where he would be or where he would wish to be, more in place than in Chicago.

Х- Какво е любовен егоизъм? Y- Да си пълен егоист и да обичаш друг пълен егоист. Х - Ама това е невъзможно. Егоизмът означава само себелюбие. Y - Как да не е възможно?! За мен любовта е движеща креативна енергия, много по-силна от силата на егоизма. Ще я подхраня с още една доза егоизъм и дори ще прибавя утилитаризъм. Х - Ама как така? Любовта никога не може да бъде планувана. Y - Забрави да напишеш "краткотрайната". Забрави да кажеш и, че любовта е субективна. Аз обичам по един начин, мен ме обичат по друг.

Every providence is God’s will; whatever happens, meet God in it in humble worship. Every precept is God’s will; meet God in it with loving obedience. Every promise is God’s will; meet God in it with full trust. A life in the will of God is rest and strength and blessing. [. . .] The will of God must first live in us, if it is to be done by us. ↗

Behold divinity divine enough to abandon divinity. Behold majesty secure enough to proceed un-majestically. Behold strength strong enough to become weakness, goodness good enough to be unmindful of its reputation. Behold love plenteous enough to give and take not again. ↗
