We invented marriage. couples invented marriage. we also invented divorce,mind you. and we invented infidelity,too, as well as romantic misery. in fact we invented the whole sloppy mess of love and intimacy and aversion and euphoria and failure. but most importantly of all, most subversively of all, most stubbornly of all, we invented privacy.

In this vast universe there is but one supreme truth- that god is our friend! by that truth meaning is given to the remote stars, the numberless centuries, the long and heroic struggle of mankind . . . o my soul, dare to trust this truth! dare to rest in god's kindly arms, dare to look confidently into his face, then launch thyself into life unafraid! knowing thou art within my father's house, that thou art surrounded by his love, thou wilt become master of fear, lord of life, conqueror even of death!
