"For when you come to think of it, the only way to love a person is not...to coddle them and bring them soup when they are sick, but by listening to them and seeing and believing in the god, in the poet, in them. For by doing this, you keep the god and the poet alive and make it flourish." ~~ Brenda Ueland, If You Want to Write
(Christians might prefer to say "the image of God in them," but you get her point.)
