To love one’s neighbor in the immovable depths means to love in others that which is eternal; for one’s neighbor, in the truest sense of the term, is that which approaches the nearest to God; in other words, all that is best and purest in man; and it is only by ever lingering near the gates I spoke of, that you can discover the divine in the soul.

Maurice Maeterlinck
