Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.

It is very hard for evil to take hold of the unconsenting soul.
Ursula K. Le GuinThe Portuguese call it saudade: a longing for something so indefinite as to be indefinable. Love affairs, miseries of life, the way things were, people already dead, those who left and the ocean that tossed them on the shores of a different land — all things born of the soul that can only be felt.
Anthony De SaSo the unwanting soul
sees what's hidden,
and the ever-wanting soul
sees only what it wants.
The soul is the form of the body, but not as the shape of a statue is formatio et terminatio materiae, for form does not exist apart from material. There is no whiteness without a white object. But the soul is not a form in this simple sense, and in particular, is not the shape of the material it informs. Therefore, the shape of a being does not affect the being's soul, for then something lower would inform something higher, which is impossible.
Michael FlynnThe soul is the weariest part of the body.
Paul BowlesTag: soul
Caelum non animum mutant qui trans mare currunt.
(They change their sky, not their soul, who rush across the sea.)

Never work just for money or for power. They won't save your soul or help you sleep at night.
Marian Wright EdelmanWho was it who said, "I hold the buying of more books than one can peradventure read, as nothing less than the soul's reaching towards infinity; which is the only thing that raises us above the beasts that perish?" Whoever it was, I agree with him.

The woman who first gives life, light, and form to our shadowy conceptions of beauty, fills a void in our spiritual nature that has remained unknown to us till she appeared. Sympathies that lie too deep for words, too deep almost for thoughts, are touched, at such times, by other charms than those which the senses feel and which the resources of expression can realise. The mystery which underlies the beauty of women is never raised above the reach of all expression until it has claimed kindred with the deeper mystery in our own souls.
