"We need others physically, emotionally, intellectually; we need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves."
"Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities." - from Friendship.
"This headship, then, is most fully embodied not in the husband we should all wish to be but in him whose marriage is most like a crucifixion; whose wife receives most and gives least, is most unworthy of him, is - in her own mere nature - least lovable. For the Church has no beauty but what the Bride-groom gives her; he does not find, but makes her, lovely." - from Eros.
"It is probably impossible to love any human being simply 'too much.' We may love him too much in proportion to our love for God; but it is the smallness of our love for God, not the greatness of our love for the man, that constitutes the inordinacy. - from Charity.
~From the Four Loves by C.S. Lewis
