For Valentines' Day

Here are three of the most sensual paintings I know of. Above is "The Kiss" by the artist we're studying this week, Edvard Munch.
This is also called "the Kiss," this is byFrench Impressionist Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1921)
And I would think that small town Iowans could relate to this scene from a summer night by Edward Hopper (1882-1967).

Only love

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it... Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate.... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
~Martin Luther King Jr.
