"There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning." Perhaps this final sentence from Thornton Wilder's The Bridge of San Luis Rey understands some of what Paul means when he says that "the greatest of these is love." But better still is what paleontologist and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin wrote in his book Toward the Future: "The day will come when after harnessing the ether, the winds, the tides, gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire."
