An Augustine Quote

"A love that strains after the possession of the loved object is desire; and the love that possesses and enjoys that object is joy. The love that shuns what opposes it is fear, while the love that feels that opposition when it happens is grief.

Consequently, these feelings are bad, if the love is bad, and good if the love is good."

St. Augustine
City of God 14, 7
