Excerpt from Love as a Social Force: Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts, 1933, Boston University Graduate SchoolLove has raised man to heaven and plunged him into hell. It has given him unquestioned happiness and has brought him untold pain. It has proved his strength and his weak ness, his beginning and his end. Love is both nectar and acid, perfume and stench, fire and ice, yielding and adamant. It is an illusion and a disillusion, a priceless possession and an empty bubble. Love is egoistic, it is altruistic. It is selfish, it is social. It is of the flesh, it is of the spirit. Love is the gift of God and the price of the Devil. In short, love is seemingly a paradox. It is a logical impossibility, a contradiction in terms. Yet love exists for it is widely cherished and lived.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
