“Love is harder to remove than hunger for bread”
“Hunger of the heart is much stronger than hunger for food.”
“For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.”
“Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.”
“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.”
