I can promise you none of these things. No sphere of usefulness you are not needed there at all. No scope of your talents only forgiveness for having perverted them. No atmosphere of inquiry, for I will bring you to the land not of questions but of answers, and you shall see the face of God. (pg 40)

For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms.
