| All sorts of people are fond of repeating the Christian statement that "God is love." But they seem not to notice that the words 'God is love' have no real meaning unless God contains at least two persons. Love is something that one person has for another person. If God was a single person, then before the world was made, He was not love. Author: C.S. Lewis

| He loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love. Author: C.S. Lewis |
| In some way, it is natural for us to wish that God had designed for us a less glorious and less arduous destiny; but then we are wishing not for more love but for less. Author: C.S. Lewis |
| Love as distinct from "being in love" is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by the grace which both partners ask, and receive from God. They can have this love for each other even at those moments when they do not like each other; as you love yourself even when you do not like yourself. Author: C.S. Lewis

| On the whole, God's love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him. Author: C.S. Lewis |
