'Or say there are two kinds of love: we love wise & kind & beautiful people because we need them, but we love (or try to love) stupid & disagreeable people because they need us. This second kind of love is the more divine, because that is how God loves us: not because we are lovable but because He is love, not because He needs to receive but because He delights to give.'
CS Lewis in Walter Hooper (Ed.), The Collected Letters of CS Lewis Vol III, p.119.
