For one human being
to love another; that is perhaps
the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate,
the last test and proof, the work for which all other work
is but preparation. I hold this to be the highest task for a bond
between two people: that each protects the solitude of the
other.
This is the miracle that happens every time
to those who really love: the more
they give, the more they
possess.
