Love is indeed ‘ecstasy’, not in the sense of a moment of intoxication, but rather as a journey, an ongoing exodus out of the closed inward‐looking self towards its liberation through self‐giving, and thus towards authentic self‐discovery and indeed the discovery of God. (Benedict XVI, Encyclical letter Deus Caritas Est )
