"To love is not a passive thing. To love is an 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 love I am freed, at least a little, by the outgoing of love, from enslavement to that most intolerable of master, myself." - Bernard Bell.
