Battlefield of the Mind

[Unhealthy State of Mind]

Turn your mind away from romantic projects. You mingle with your religion a romantic, lovesick sentimentalism, which does not elevate, but only lowers. It is not yourself alone who is affected; others are injured by your example and influence. . . . Daydreaming and romantic castle building have unfitted you for usefulness. You have lived in an imaginary world; you have been an imaginary martyr and an imaginary Christian.

The Adventist Home, page 52, paragraph 4
Chapter Title: True Love or Infatuation
