"These poor Mexicans, he reflected, we’re not the first to pour out their love [for Mary] in this simple fashion. Raphael and Titian had made costumes for her in their time, and the great masters had made music for her, and the great architects had built cathedrals for her.
Give people an outlet to express their love in an embodied way!" — Sep 25, 2025 07:32AM

“The more I love humanity in general the less I love man in particular. In my dreams, I often make plans for the service of humanity, and perhaps I might actually face crucifixion if it were suddenly necessary. Yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for two days together. I know from experience. As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs me and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he’s too long over his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I hate men individually the more I love humanity.”
