Bernard of Clairvaux Quotes

Love is alone sufficient by itself, it pleases by itself and for it's own sake. It is itself a merit, and itself it's own recompense. It seeks neither cause, nor consequences beyond itself. It is its own fruit, its own object and usefulness. I love because I love you, I love that I may love.

• I like black for clothes, small items, and jewelry. It's a color that can't be violated by any other colors. A color that simply keeps being itself.

Anything is wonderful if it transcends things rather than being halfway.
