Matshona DhliwayoPleasure can turn the body into a slave. Desire can turn the mind into a fool. Passion can turn the heart into a beast. Love can turn the soul into an angel.
About This Quote
When we feel pleasure, we lose the ability to make our soul an angel. When we feel desire, we become a fool. When we feel passion, we end up as a beast. Love makes the soul an angel, as it keeps our heart as a soul. We can still feel passion and pleasure, but love controls our mind and soul, and keeps us from becoming beasts.
