Phantastes, chapter 24 - George MacDonald

This quote was added by user48886
I knew now that it is by loving, and not by being loved, that one can come nearest the soul of another... I knew that love gives to him that loveth, power over any soul beloved, even if that soul know him not, bringing him inwardly close to that spirit; a power that cannot be but for good; for in proportion as selfishness intrudes, the love ceases... Yet all love will, one day, meet with its return. All true love will, one day, behold its own image in the eyes of the beloved, and be humbly glad.
