“The Absolute loves us… Love is at the heart of being. Again it is necessary that being have a heart, or still more rigorously, that being be a heart. “The heart of being” means nothing but the being of being, that by virtue of which it is being. To suppose that “the being of being,” or “the essence of being,” is an expression endowed with meaning, it would be necessary to suppose that the essence of being is something like a heart—that is to say: that which alone is capable of love.”
