“Perfect love did that to a person, and this had been perfect.”

“But he had been in love once, that he knew. Once and only once, and a long time ago. And it had changed him forever. Perfect love did that to a person and this had been perfect.”

“With respect to love we speak continually about perfection and the perfect person. With respect to love Christianity also speaks continually about perfection and the perfect person. Alas, but we men talk about finding the perfect person in order to love him. Christianity speaks about being the perfect person who limitlessly loves the person he sees.”

“Love isn't finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”

“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”

“You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”
