love is not a feeling

By hypkip

A friend of ours, Hugh Bishop of Mirfield, says in one of his books: “Love is not an emotion. It is a policy.” Those words have often helped me when all my feelings were unlovely. . . I am slowly coming to understand with my heart as well as my head that love is not a feeling. It is a person.

Madeleine L’Engle, A Circle of Quiet, page 45.
