Eternal life is knowing the true God;
the true way to it is to love with one’s whole heart.
Love, then, is the way, truth the life;
truth is the image, love the likeness;
love is the price, truth is the prize;
by love we make our journey, in truth we stand fast.
Moreover, since love will never come to an end, when truth is attained love is not at an end, but the life with the truth that comes of love and the love that comes of truth will be supremely satisfying and will never stop.
Isaac of Stella
