To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that one that must be loved is not a friend. There is not merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend.
Mahatma GandhiRead

These principles have given me a way of explaining naturally the union or rather the mutual agreement [conformité] of the soul and the organic body.
