“For this is love's truth; she joins two in one being, makes sweet sour, strangers neighbors, and the lowly noble.”
Hadewijch, Hadewijch: The Complete Works

“Gain or loss, honor or shame,
Consolation at being with God in heaven
Or in the torture of hell:
This Fire makes no distinction.
It burns to death everything it ever touches:
Damnation or blessing no longer matters.”
Hadewijch

“Be fervent in God, and let nothing grieve you, whatever you encounter.”
Hadewijch
