Intimacy


Fear destroys intimacy. It distances us from each other; or makes us cling to each other, which is the death of freedom. . . . Only love can create intimacy, and freedom too, for when all hearts are one, nothing else has to be one--neither clothes nor age; neither sex nor sexual preference; race nor mind-set.

William Sloane Coffin, Jr. (1924-2006)
