Venerable Fulton J. Sheen Quote
The only way love can be shown in this world is by sacrifice —namely, the surrender of one thing for another. Love is essentially bound up with choice, and choice is a negation, and negation is a sacrifice. When a young man sets his heart upon a young woman and asks her to marry him, he is not only saying I choose you; he is also saying I do not choose, I reject, all others. I give them all up for you. Apply this to the problem of lust.
