"To love is not a passive thing. To love is active voice. When I love I do something, I function, I give. I do not love in order that I may be loved back again, but for the creative joy of loving. And every time I do so I am freed, at least a little, by the outgoing of love, from enslavement to that most intolerable of master, myself."
