"Love is enough on its own; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love is its own merit and its own reward. Love needs no cause, no fruit besides itself; its enjoyment is its use. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing; as long as it returns to its Beginning, goes back to its Origin, turns again to its Source, it will always draw afresh from It and flow freely."
Bernard of Clairvaux
"The payment for love is nothing else - neither can the soul desire anything else - than more love."
John of the Cross
