"We have nothing to fear from Love.  But it does not depend on God. It depends entirely upon us, and this is the whole tragedy. God wants us to be in his image, eternally free. He respects us absolutely. This is love. Without respect, we cannot speak of love. We are men because we are free. If we were not free we would be clever animals, not men. God will never take back this gift of freedom which renders us what we are."

Dr. Alexandre Kalomiros, The River of Fire
