Additional quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Not from the heavy soil where blood and sex and oath rule in their hallowed might, where the earth itself, guarding the primal consecrated order, avenges wantonness and madness —
not from the heavy soil of the earth,
but from the spirit's choice and free desire, needing no oath of legal bond, is friend bestowed on friend.
When we judge other people we confront them in a spirit of detachment, observing and reflecting as it were from the outside. But love has neither time nor opportunity for this. If we love, we can never observe the other person with detachment, for he is always and at every moment a living claim to our love and service.
