"Socrates had it wrong; it is not the unexamined but finally the uncommitted life that is not worth living. Descartes too was mistaken; 'cogito ergo sum'--'I think therefore I am'? Nonsense. 'Amo ergo sum'--'I love therefore I am.' Or, as with unconscious eloquence St,. Paul wrote, 'Now abide faith, hope love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.'
I believe that. I believe it is better not to live than not to love."
-- William Slone Coffin
