“As candle lights candle, [the spouses's] desire for each other kindles a desire for the Love of which their love is but a reflection.”
― J. Budziszewski, On the Meaning of Sex

“The unitive capacities of the spouses don't exist for nothing; they exist for motherhood and fatherhood. That is the matrix in which they develop, for children change us in a way we desperately need to be changed. They wake us up, they wet their diapers, they depend on us utterly. Willy-nilly, they knock us out of our selfish habits and force us to live sacrificially for others; they are the necessary and natural continuation of the shock to our selfishness which is initiated by matrimony itself.”
― J. Budziszewski
