To-morrow the dreams and flowers will fade.

The bigger they are, the more gracious they are. If I died tomorrow, I'd be happy with who I had the chance to sing with.

An idea is so impersonal; it is yours today and the whole world's tomorrow.

Technologies of the soul tend to be simple, bodily, slow and related to the heart as much as the mind. Everything around us tells us we should be mechanically sophisticated, electronic, quick, and informational in our expressiveness - an exact antipode to the virtues of the soul. It is no wonder, then, that in an age of telecommunications - which, by the way, literally means "distant connections" - we suffer symptoms of the loss of soul. We are being urged from every side to become efficient rather than intimate.

Go where we may, rest where we will,
Eternal London haunts us still.

It may help us, in those times of trouble, to remember that love is not only about relationship, it is also an affair of the soul.
