“The kind of love that God has for us, I think, is of an infinite longing for union, and the kind of love that God wants us to have for him, I think, is of this also endless longing. Now in eros we lose ourselves. I think erotic love transforms us, but it does so only momentarily. It has to be embedded in something much longer, a much bigger narrative called marriage or durable relationship or something like that.”
![“[Erotica] contains the idea of love, positive choice, and the yearning for a particular person.” quote by Gloria Steinem](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/761/gloria-steinem-277_choices_erotica-contains-the-idea-of-love-positi_2104149.jpg)
