Weaklings are poor lovers. Love can appear only where life pulses strongly, and when in such a person life comes to its unfolding, all one-sidedness and eccentricity are overcome. Love is life, an exultant yes to life, an exultant yes to community of life. That alone is love. When I hate I take something away from myself.
Life is a continuous enrichment of existence through the overcoming of all obstacles to life.
Life is struggle and overcoming, but life is eternal power and overcoming in the sense that death and killing are overcome by the healing, exuberant force of life which is love. Anyone who believes that he must kill, out of love and solidarity and faithful devotion to the beloved one, destroys by his own act the very object of his enthusiasm and devotion, namely life itself, the community of life. True love is the indissoluble oneness of all that lives. Coming from the Spirit, which is the all-embracing oneness of life, the life power penetrates the movement and joining of souls and leads to physical union in marriage and to the common work. True love is spirit, is power.
