Marilynne Robinson Love Quotations

... but it's your existence I love you for, mainly. Existence seems to me now the most remarkable thing that could ever be imagined.

God does not need our worship. We worship to enlarge our sense of holy, so that we can feel and know the presense of the Lord, who is with us always. He said, Love is what it amounts to, a loftier love, and pleasure in a loving presence.

Love is holy because it is like grace--the worthiness of its object is never really what matters.

My heroes are, above all, the great 19th-century Americans: Emerson, Whitman, Dickinson and the others. I love the way they think.
