"God is light" 1 John 1:5

I've over-educated myself in all the things I shouldn't have known.
To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous.
When I became Christian I voluntarily crucified my mind, and all the crosses that I bear have only been a source of joy for me. I have lost nothing, and gained everything.
The knowledge of the Cross is concealed in the sufferings of the Cross.
Whatever you may be seeking, seek it with all your strength, but do not expect your own search and efforts to bear fruit of themselves. Put your trust in the Lord, ascribing nothing to yourself, and He will give you your heart's desire.
A silent man is a son of wisdom and is always gaining great knowledge.
We have heard enough of liberty and the rights of man; it is high time to hear something of the duties of men and the rights of authority.
Blessed Martyr Constantine XI, ευχων υπερ ημων!

the ^higher^ the love, the ^lower^ the kisses
I don't know, Constantine-- not sure what the expression really means.
to Karen:
it's a cynical (contemporary) russian saying. which means something like: the more elevated talk of love there is among the two, the more it implies sex, sex and more sex :)
Kos, correct me if i m wrong.
That's what I figured it might mean. :-P Thanks!
I am afraid you are wrong. It indeed translates as 'the higher the love the lower the kisses' but it means that the stronger the bond between two people, the more oral sex that gets performed.
Well, not too far off the mark anyway. I wasn't too worried about the details (that aren't made explicit anyhow, so it should be open to slightly more free interpretations than this, particularly given the "high" vs "low" juxtaposition which in Russian is very specifically understood as "nobility" vs "villainy": низкий, низость - viciousness, villainy. thus "high love" has to also mean noble/pure love, rather than just the strong bond. IMHO.)
