The opponent strikes you on your cheek, and you strike him on the heart by your amazing spiritual audacity in turning the other cheek.

In conversion you are not attached primarily to an order, nor to an institution, nor a movement, nor a set of beliefs, nor a code of action - you are attached primarily to a Person, and secondarily to these other things.
