Random quote of the day:
“I am far from denying the destructive and disintegrating forces of passion. I will go so far as to agree that apart from the reproductive function, men have hitherto used love, on the whole, as an instrument of self-corruption and intoxication. But what do these excesses prove? Because fire consumes and electricity can kill are we to stop using them?”
—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, “The Evolution of Chastity†(tr. René Hague)
