grown man…For an infant who lives on milk is not able to fight
on the battlefield; he only wants to play with other children. So
a man who is wrapped in love for himself only wishes to taste
the milk of spiritual and temporal consolation; like a child he
wants to be with others of its kind. But when he becomes a
grown man he leaves behind this sensitive self love…He has
become strong, he is firm, serious and thoughtful, he hastens to
the battlefield and his only wish is to fight for the truth.
St. Catherine of Siena
