“The arithmetic of love defied intuition: only when given away did it multiply.”

“Paradise is found when love is given; love can only be given when it is understood as an act of the will rather than a response of the emotions.”

“Certainly, the terror of a deserted house swells in geometrical rather than arithmetical progression as houses multiply to form a city of stark desolation.
