Love Begins With A Smile Quotes & Sayings

The only power that can effect transformations of the order (of Jesus) is love. It remained for the 20th century to discover that locked within the atom is the energy of the sun itself. For this energy to be released, the atom must be bombarded from without. So too, locked in every human being is a store of love that partakes of the divine- the imago dei, image of god ... And it too can be activated only through bombardment, in its case, love's bombardment.

Ontogenetically speaking, love is an answering phenomenon. It is literally a response. — Huston Smith
