“The question of love is one that cannot be evaded.  Whether or not you claim to be interested in it, from the moment you are alive you are bound to be concerned  with love because love is not just something that happens  to you: It is a certain special way of being alive. Love is  in fact an intensification of life, a completeness, a fullness,  a wholeness of life.” -Thomas Merton, Love and Living
