Jacques MaritainThe value of contemplation is not only, not so much, that it is a life of knowledge, but above all that it is a life of love, and, as it were, the space wherein spiritual love unfolds to its fullest dimensions. Therein knowledge is demanded by love, and by knowledge, love shares a common life with Him who is Spirit; knowledge proceeds from love which, through a God-given instinct, experiences God.
Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
