- The Four Loves (1960), Ch. VI: “Charity”
Love, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.
It is hard to have patience with people who say ‘There is no death’ or ‘Death doesn’t matter.’’ There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn’t matter.
