Quote by Andreas Capellanus

Love is always a stranger in the house of avarice.

Love is always a stranger in the house of avarice.

Summary

This quote suggests that love and greed cannot coexist harmoniously. In a house driven by greed, where avarice, or the insatiable desire for wealth, rules, love becomes a foreign concept. The pursuit of material possessions, money, and personal gain takes precedence over nurturing relationships and fostering intimacy. Love requires selflessness and generosity, traits that are contrary to the selfish and possessive nature of greed. Therefore, in a setting consumed by avarice, love is unable to flourish and remains an outsider.

The proliferation of support groups suggests to me that too many Americans are growing up in homes that do not contain a grandmother. A home without a grandmother is like an egg without salt and Helpists know it. They have jumped into the void left by the disappearance of morbid old ladies from the bosom of the American family.
