“Thus love is the most universal experience of grace among human beings. Through all the ages men have sung in poetry and written in drama this curious fact: that sexual love has the power to take one out of the prison of oneself, to give one a greater life in exchange for the narrow one one loses, and to bring a quality of happiness that is, indeed, a ‘little bit of heaven’… Such a relationship furnishes a peace and stability which are integral parts of lasting human happiness. It gives a sense of being ‘at home’ in the universe which relieves one of many vague and floating anxieties.”
