"Agape is something of the understanding, creative, redemptive……" — Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Agape is something of the understanding, creative, redemptive goodwill for all men. It is a love that seeks nothing in return. It is an overflowing love; it's what theologians would call the love of God working in the lives of men. And when you rise to love on this level, you begin to love men, not because they are likeable, but because God loves them."
—
Martin Luther King, Jr.
