Love is a great thing so long as it continually returns to its
fountainhead, flows back to its source, always drawing from there the water
which constantly replenishes it. Of all the movements, sensations and feelings
of the soul, love is the only one in which the creature can respond to the
Creator and make some sort of similar return however unequal though it be. For
when God loves, all he desires is to be loved in return; the sole purpose of
his love is to be loved, in the knowledge that those who love him are made
happy by their love of him.
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux
