Love obeys no morality

Love obeys no morality and gives birth to no morality. None of the great categories of revealed truth is relative to morality or can give birth to it; freedom, truth, light, Word, and holiness do not belong at all to the order of morality. What they evoke is a model of being, a model of life that is very free, that involves constant risks, that is constantly renewed. The Christ-fixed duty has to be done no matter what course life may take. Morality always interdicts this mode of being. It is an obstacle to it and implicitly condemns it, just as Jesus is inevitably condemned by moral people.
-Jacques Ellul, "The Subversion of Christianity" (a central theme of "Killing Justice")
