- There are many who say that there is no love which is useful but the love of God; all other forms are worthless.
- Another says that he or she can love no one who is of the opposite sex, having once been disappointed in this way.
- Another will say, "I will love no human being; I can love my dog or my cat better. They do not disappoint me, whereas I was once disappointed in man."
- Another says, "I love my money, because if I am in need that is the only friend that comes to my rescue. The deposit I have in my bank does more for me than anyone can do. Why then should I not love my money?"
- And still another person says, "If God is all, if He is to have all love, then why not love the chair, or the table, or a book, or the work that a person does -- a work of art, a piece of music; is it not the same?"
