Christ didn't say, "Love humanity as thyself," but, "Love thy neighbor as thyself," and do you know why? Because your neighbor, by definition, is the person nearby, the man sitting next to you in the underground who smells, perhaps, the man next to you in the queue who maybe tries to barge ahead of you; in short, your neighbor is the person who threatens your own liberty. —Luciano De Crescenzo More about this quote Tags: humanity love freedom liberty Christianity smell neighbor Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
