About This Quote
The world is filled with love-play, from animal lust to sublime compassion. The world is a place where everything comes from love. There is nothing that can be accomplished without it. Love makes the world go round and without it there would be no movement at all.
It keeps everything connected and connected makes them move. In love, things become greater than what they are as they become one. In the world, there is nothing as pure as love.
