Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
Man is an organ of life, and God alone is life.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Marriages on earth--because they are the seminaries of the human race and of the angels of heaven also because, likewise, they proceed from a spiritual origin, that is, from the marriage of good and truth and since, in addition, the Lord's divine proceeding principally flows into conjugal love--are most holy in the estimation of the angels.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The sky is an enormous man.
Emanuel Swedenborg
