"Archetypes were, and still are, living psychic forces that demand to be taken seriously, and they have a strange way of making sure of their effect. Always they were the bringers of protection and salvation."

"The height to which love leads us is beyond description. Love unites us to God, 'love covers a multitude of sins.' (1 Pet. 4:8; cf. James 5:20), love bears all things, is patient in all things….love does all things in harmony." Clement, bishop of Rome (92-101ad), 'Letter to Corinth', 49:4-5

"The great cannot exist without the small; neither can the small exist without the great: there is a certain mutuality in the whole, and this is beneficial to it. Take, for example, our body: 'and the least members of the body are necessary and useful to the whole body.' (cf. 1 Cor. 12:21-22); but they all coalesce and are alike subordinated for the health of the body as a whole." Clement, bishop of Rome (92-101ad), 'Letter to Corinth', 37:4-5
