“Lovers on the left bank of the Seine in Paris experience the 'mannishness' of man when they fall in love and yet cry because they do not believe love exists. If I met any of these, I would put my hand gently on their shoulders and say, 'You are separated from God if you do not accept Christ as your Savior, but at this moment you understand something real about the universe. Though your system may say love does not exist, your own experience shows that it does.' They have not touched the personal God who exists, but for a fleeting moment they have touched the existence of true personality in their love. This is indeed an objective reality, because God has made their personalities touch in this way. It is true that in these experiences man has touched something, not nothing; but what he has touched is not God, but the objective reality of the external world and the 'mannishness' of man that God has created.” From The God Who Is There
