God has given you these desires ... He gives us carnal love for a purpose, for mutual delight, to produce children, and the sanctification of the soul. Cast yourself headlong on God's love, begging His grace to help you in the perfection of the nature He gave you. To love another so deeply that we seek union with the beloved, by that to bring an immortal soul into this world and care for and shape it ... that is to imitate God Himself in His splendor!

S. M. STIRLING, The Sunrise Lands

Love isn't like money--the more you give away the more you get back, and the more you have to give.

S. M. STIRLING, The Sunrise Lands
