Paul Tillich, “Love, Power and Justice,” Oxford University Press, 1960.
“Unperverted life strives for that of which it is in want, it strives for union with that which is separated from it, though it belongs to it.” (p. 29)
“In the moment in which the representatives of the centre use the power of the whole for their particular self-realization they cease to be the actual centre, and the whole being, without a centre, disintegrates.” (p. 45)
“Justice is always violated if men are dealt with as if they were things.” (p. 60)
“Forgiving love is the only way of fulfilling the intrinsic claim in every being, namely its claim to be reaccepted into the unit to which it belongs.” (p. 86)
