LOVE

'It is one of the best traits of good people that they love where they pity. And this truer of women than of men. So they get themselves drawn into situations that are harmful to them. I have seen this happen many, many times. I have always had trouble finding a way to caution against it it. Since it is, in a word, Christlike.'
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead, p.213.
