Men, Religion, and Melancholia Quotes

“the mystery of love bespeaks another mystery—the mystery of God. If we refuse to ascribe the name of God to the mystery of love, we shall remain in the throes of endless self-deception. Which means that melancholia cannot but be deeply, inherently religious. It has its human players and counterplayers, yet, in the end, it always comes down to one's personal experience of the mystery, the uncanniness of love. And there is nothing more uncanny than a love that has no knowable boundaries.”
― Donald Capps, Men, Religion, and Melancholia: James, Otto, Jung, and Erikson
