Nothing is so infectious as Love; it is impossible long to resist those who love us disinterestedly.

Excerpt

There is no difference between the will of Divinity and those who have identified their wills with that Divine will; they speak, as it were, with the voice of God. We gain Love, therefore, through these Lovers greater than ourselves. Nothing is so infectious as Love; it is impossible long to resist those who love us disinterestedly. We are fired with their love.
